    I believe that I am not the targeted audience for this book (nor is my husband). However I do see this book being valuable to others, and it does help me understand others who are in similar situations.

    My favorite chapter was regarding about finances and how to view them in particular as it made me rethink about how we are doing our finances and we could fine tune them a bit more.

    Part of the reason I started reading this book was because I was helping a friend during her career pause, and I brought up the idea that maybe she might be viewing her career/income as part of her identity. She did more digging and found this book, and we decided to read it together. I am curious of her thoughts with this book and wonder if she will find it insightful.

    This book might be a bit too YA for me? The characters felt very one dimensional throughout the story and I could not stay engaged. I also felt like the mystery and puzzles didn't feel that put together-- I wish there was more foreshadowing on how the puzzle were to unfold. I will probably not continue the series.

    Just WOW— Good Inside is INCREDIBLE!

    Hands down my favorite “parenting book” so far. But it is so much more than a parenting book, as it also taught me how to give myself and other’s who I care about more grace. I feel like I have a better idea of what emotional regulation should kind of look like while allowing myself to have feelings too. I can see why this book is so highly rated and would probably gift this book to new parents. If you are children (aunt/uncle, family friend, educator, grandparent) I recommend giving it a read.

    This was a nice short read to listen to honest somber and difficult stories with realistic wholesome endings. I see so many books with similar titles and this would be my first, and hope to keep reading more. The scenery was very artsy and whimsical which makes it perfect for spring.
