I will admit that I allowed the title to keep me away from reading this book. But after hearing her story IN HER OWN words, all I can say is wow. I completely understand the title. What a complicated and sad life she lived and honestly still lives because she still has traumas that she must continue to face. I didn’t give it 5 stars because of the subject matter of is abuse, which was difficult for me. Also, her style of narrating her own book made it interesting and entertaining, despite the subject. Not sure how far I would have gotten had I read the physical book. Overall, just remember you NEVER know what others are dealing with at home.
I listened to the audio, so I’m not sure if that dictates how I perceived her research. The main thing I got from this is that it’s ok to take chances. But in some parts of the book, I was distracted by the narrator who seemed to be trying too hard to get certain points across.
It’s a really interesting and educational looking behind the scenes of how one of the largest libraries is managed. I just started reading other stuff and never got back to this one.
I listened to the audiobook, which was read by the author. It was sometimes difficult to follow Tiffany’s story and the organization of the book was lacking. Much of the content was redundant and in some places it felt like Tiffany was ad libbing. I finally just decided to stop listen.
I read the audiobook so I can’t speak to the pace of the book overall. It was a short “read/listen” and was a good look into what some black women physicians endure while working in healthcare. The book covers more of her life at work than it does outside of work. She does speak to her relationships as they relate to her career choices, but nothing too deep. Overall, it’s a good read for young, aspiring doctors.
