Ugh. I don't think I can keep reading this. So many 1 and 2 star reviews on this book echo my exact feelings. I am enjoying the facts and the quotes, but her asides and tangents are getting to me. The thought that keeps coming to me is that I feel like I am reading a high schooler's essay. 😬

As someone with a history degree, an absolute love for history, and thinks Sharon does great things, this may be a DNF for me. The writing is so hard to read. It bounces around so much in topic, opinion, and fact. This might be why she's so successful on the internet and social media because that style fits the rapid jumbled pace of the internet, but it does not work for a book.
