I tried. Memoir, business, and nonfiction are my favorite genres. Throw in a female CEO and I am all in. But it ended up in my DNF pile after listening to almost 50% on audiobook.
What I liked:
* Strong, determined, ambitious, knows what she wants, successful CEO
What I didn't like:
* All the talk about make-up, clothing, brands, privilege, etc

Some books aren't just for us. It's good to know when to move on.

Sorry but i genuinely just had a very good laugh that you read a book about a beauty company and did not like “all the talk about make up� 😂
(I also didn’t like it, but for other reasons)
Thanks Alexandra!!! LOL on the makeup comment!!
Thanks Sharon for saving me time from a book I was about to pick up following Fortune’s recommendation.
You’re welcome, Siying.

I am HOWLING at the make up comment 🤣🤣
