Fun and inspiring! These short stories are perfect for a rainy day or vacation when you want something uplifting. I especially liked the stories by women who followed their dreams and the ones who learned they didn't have to trade their authenticity for relationship and could have both.

I’m a sucker for the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, I can’t lie. The newer ones have definitely grown with the times… this one came out in 2020 and was a very good uplifting read.
