My Opinion
Mistakes don't define us
What I liked most about this book is its refreshing honesty. It doesn't talk about roads that were conventional or uptight moral principles but also acknowledges the mistakes that can happen amidst uncertainties and hardships. The author highlights those mistakes and lets us feel the regret. And yet, we learn as she does along her life's bumpy ride and at the end, it seems like a miracle that she stood tall despite all that she goes through.
The perfection in this book is that it deals with a self declared flawed protagonist with difficult circumstances and this could be the story of anyone you know - a friend, a parent, your partner or even yourself.
This makes the book stand out from the rest of the self help books for me. Hoping to get a signed copy from the author someday!
