I tend to place an exorbitant amount of importance on the first book I read in the new year. I’m not sure where or when I got the idea that Book #1 can somehow influence or set the tone for the next 12 months but this has been A. THING. with me for most of my life. Most of my choices tend to be poetry or something to inspire me with a goal (like a writing book) or a title I’ve really wanted to read.
I’m definitely going to read her book after reading your review! Thank you!
