The action parts were really exciting.
A little too gun-porn/suicide-porn for my tastes.

Got about a quarter of the way through it. Just picked it up because I was between books and it was Available Now at the library. I've read a couple tidying-up/minimalism books by now, so I might be kind of ruined on the concept of a memoir of somebody discovering these principles without contributing much newness to the topic.
That said, I got bored and didn't finish, so maybe the second half was amazing. I guess I'll never know! The library book I was actually waiting for has arrived and I'm moving on! 👋

I didn't know this story.
All I knew about Over The Rhine before this is that they are a cute husband-and-wife pop band.

A young adult gritty urban fantasy heist plot. This was great. I'm shorting it a star for ending the book in the middle of the action. And also for everybody with any kind of romantic interest in anybody else refusing to talk about their feelings at all, ever, even a tiny bit. (Except for spoiler and spoiler at the end.)

neat quirky story. kind of silly. about as serious as The Tick without being as slapstick.
there was a quality to the dialog that at times made it feel as though the characters were all just monologuing near each other instead of talking to each other.

the second half of the book brought the "action" part of action/suspense and was interesting enough to save this from one star.

I'm not sure why I feel as though she was overall guarded and reserved when in fact she talked candidly and emotionally about very personal struggles.
She did a good job reading. Usually read-by-the-author books suffer for lack of a professional reader.
edit: I was hoping to see a lot more Michelle gifs when scrolling through the reviews. Be the change you want to see in the world, people:
