If You Don’t Like This, I Will Die

I am still struggling with my thoughts on this book. On one hand, it’s honest and vulnerable, it’s a fast listen (just over five hours), and it is juicy as hell. I was not quite so prepared for all the oversharing about her personal life (specifically, her sex life!!). She does not hold back. Personally, I have always found her a little bit frustrating. There was the influencing, then the break, then the anti-influencing-influencing . . . it’s made my head spin a little bit. Reading the book and understanding her background helped to explain it a little bit more. But it is a very wild ride. It honestly made me feel super grateful for my own career: having more boundaries with what I share, treating it like a 9-5 (vs. a whole life!), starting later in life (I didn’t write my first blog post until I was 28 years old; she started in college!). It is a lot, upsetting at times, cringe at others. But it’s a fun and juicy listen. The epilogue was my favorite part. It seems like she’s found a better balance.
