A book I surprisingly loved! 🫶📚

Although I love Stacy Willingham, I wasn’t really super interested in this book to begin with. But I LOVED it!!!! This was for sure a 4.5/5 for me. Some predictability, but that doesn’t make a book bad for me personally. Stacy is quickly becoming an “automatic buy” author 🫶
