I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Harper Design) in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a gem of a book!

The book is full of illustrations and sayings to help you through tough times. It is divided up into 5 sections for every step in your journey. I found the whole thing to be so relatable. My life has definitely not gone according to plan. There were many pictures/sayings that resonated with me. I particularly liked one in the beginning that said, “This was not how it was supposed to go” with a headstone that said “My ego” on the opposite page. That one hit hard.

I loved the overall aesthetic of the artwork. It was very clean and simple yet still packed a punch. Because of its simplicity, it had a calming effect.

I also liked the short introduction that the author wrote explaining the inspiration of the book. I can tell that the book comes from her heart and experiences.

The book is fairly basic, so I wished there was a little bit more in terms of depth and content. It could have been expanded more.

Overall, I loved how relatable this book is! I recommend it for anyone who may need a little pick me up after life knocks them down.… (meer)
