"In 2019, a mentor at my day job took me to lunch and told me I wasn't good at writing or research. I was only good at filling out forms. He said when the interns started full time, they were going to push me out because everyone wants to work with the best and that... wasn't me.

I started writing this book shortly after, when I was trying to figure out if I even mattered.

I'm throwing this review up here and then walking away from this page and leaving it to all of you guys, but I just wanted to say that writing this book healed me.

And if you've ever sat in a room and wondered whether you're good enough or smart enough or brave enough, maybe this book can heal you too. 🤍

P.S. - The book is fade-to-black, but there is a bonus open-door spicy scene that I wrote as a gift for my friend Jourdan Gandy who was kind enough to make Illusion of Stars her August 2024 pick for her book club, Prosecco and Pages."
