What is the point of this book? Why did it need to be written? It brings nothing new or interesting into the world.
Even if you grew up in a far away universe and didn't happen to already know all of these incredibly basic things, then you still wouldn't get anything useful from this because it's all just personal anecdotes followed by what the author learned. Then we get brief, vague, generalized advice. All *incredibly* surface level stuff. It's as if we are only privy to the introduction to the chapters but then the meat of the chapter is cut out.
I don't know who Ferne Cotton is. Maybe if you do, you will care to know the names of her friends and what they bring to her life and how she feels about this and that? I personally don't give a flying hooha about "being bathed in Bonnie's energy and husky storyteller voice". I don't care about her or her life whatsoever.
Why is this masquerading as a self help book when it is in reality just page after page of the life of Ferne Cotton??
Be honest with potential readers and market it as a skin deep biography about the author and not as something that will actually help other people in any real way.
I'm angry that I was duped into spending money on this vapid nothingness.
