Rachel’s Notes & Highlights

Not Safe for Work by Nisha J. Tuli

3 notes & 9 highlights

This book is a love letter to my past self, who knew within a few years that engineering was never the right choice for me. I took a lot of chances over the years to find myself here, writing this letter to you now.
