it was amazing

No matter what political party they belong to, women in government and especially their stories have always inspired me. I love learning about their leadership journey and admire their hard work for the American people. Former first lady, Hillary Clinton has always been someone who I have admired. From her humanitarian work to her work in the government, she is truly a shatterer of glass ceilings and has paved the way for future generations of women to follow

In Something Lost, Something Gained Hillary discusses her nearly fifty-year marriage to former President Bill Clinton, her newest position as a professor at Columbia University, her friendship with the former first ladies, and her activism for women. She also discusses at length how parents can protect their children from the toxic effects of technology.

It's hard for me to say I had a favorite part of the book but it would probably be her story of how she evacuated women in Afghanistan to safety during the final days of the war. I also loved reading about the women’s civil rights activists from around the globe and hearing their stories.

Something Lost, Something Gained gave me an even deeper appreciation and esteem for Hillary. Her unwavering support and hard work for women's and children’s rights is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Hands down, this is one of the best non-fiction books I've read this year!

Something Lost, Something Gained by Hillary Rodham Clinton was published on September 17, so it is available now. Many thanks to Simon Books for the gifted copy!

Summer Thank you, Chantel🩷


Karen Beautiful review Summer! 🙂


Summer Thank you, Karen🩷


Ashley Ocean I wanted to read Hard Choices first. Given all of her travels and collective work, I can only imagine what haunts her. The war definitely has not ended for women in Afghanistan. It’s clear what drives her work. I’m looking forward to hearing about what she is learning and has to say about so many things. Although a bit buttoned up on vulnerability, I’m liking this genre more than I thought I would. Have you had a favorite?


Summer Hard Choices is such a great one as well! If you liked this one, I would highly recommend The Truths We Hold by Kamala Harris, The Art of Power by Nancy Pelosi, and Promise Me, Dad by Joe Biden.
