really liked it

This is, in comparison to her first two autobiographies, much lighter and easier on the heart. We finally get to see some doors opening for her, and get to be amazed at how she takes every chance life throws at her, and how it almost always pays off.

I do, however, felt a bit overwhelmed by the many events and many different people described in this book. I know it's all important to mention, but with such a hectic pacing, it's really difficult to connect to the people and places. The ending also felt a bit rushed. It's like she took us through this wonderful, magical fairy tale throughout the book, and then at the very last pages decided to remind us that there are consequences to being so happy and carefree for so long. But these hardships last only through a few paragraphs, which I'm sure it's very different from how it happened in her life.

Anyway, I'm both excited and nervous for what's to come in the next chapters
