My review :
I only bought it because it’s one of a Booktuber’s recommendations. A Booktuber that I really admire. After finish it, I felt like it was good and not good at the same time. It doesn’t inspire me whatsoever and what annoys me the most is how many times she used the same word! Saying “creative” all the time don’t change readers to creative people. The book is really just her writing history. but for me, it was zero inspiration. Annoyingly repetitive. And to be honest with you, it wasn’t about creative, it’s all about the author’s life. I liked the author’s thoughts and experiences a little bit, and I liked the cover of the book, it’s that kind of covers that could catch your attention between other self-help covers.
My rating on Goodreads :
⭐⭐⭐
