A quick, fun surprising read…much more fun than I expected. First of all, it seems she actually wrote it herself and she is a good writer…it was always engaging. Secondly, Garten is such an interesting woman…and her husband is equally interesting. Interesting people in her life, always taking risks in seeking out people to help her with career or personal projects. Perhaps the best quote in the book, however, is one from Leslie Stahl, as Garten quotes her…”why do successful women always say they’re lucky , and successful men always say they got there by the force of their talent?"

Listened to this one - audiobook. It was read by Ina herself and was very entertaining. I thought I knew her story and how she go to where she is today but I learned so much more about her. Title is aptly named.
