Reviews

[Nina Dion · Rating 4 out of 5]

This brief but captivating read intertwines messages of self-discovery, finding one’s own path, pursuing one’s dreams, and the importance of working hard to achieve goals. I also appreciated the connection shown between the brother and sister, as they supported each other rather than competing against one another.

A book full of ego and politically left.
