This book was short, but mighty I didn't want it to end, so I read it slowly.
I didn't think it was depressing at all. The book was realistic about the ups/ downs of married/relationships. People wear so many masks on social media.
The book also covered resilience, empowerment, and self reflection
Round of applause Fantastic Job!!! I'd read it again.
