I liked this book and its message, and I enjoyed reliving the author's experiences. I especially liked the author's honesty, and I liked the conversational tone of this book. However, my favorite part of this book was the bit on A glimpse into our not-so-sleepy town… This part introduced a new genre in this book, something akin to historical fiction (although this one was no fiction), and I love historicals.
So what was your favorite (or least favorite) thing about this book?

I think my least favorite thing was the pictures at the end of the book. I also enjoyed the conversational tone and the parts that read like fiction. Thanks for the question.

To be honest, every part of the book was my favorite. She incorporates something interesting in each chapter that it feels like you are not reading a self-help book at all! Also, the pictures at the end were a nice touch.

I liked the pictures at the end of the book. I feel they made the whole story feel more real. So I'm curious as to why you disliked the pictures.

I liked the book overall. However, the part that appealed to me was the pictures at the end. There was nothing to be disliked in the book. I would love to read it again.

I should clarify, I liked the pictures just fine. I did not like the location of the pictures, sorry for the confusion! For me, I would prefer the pictures to be in context, it makes for easier reading, and it is easier for me to remember the events that the pictures are referring to.

While I definitely enjoyed the book as a whole, my favorite part was the kind of language that she used to communicate her ideas to the readers. It was easy to understand, conversational, and even though the theme itself is quite heavy, the light-hearted nature of her words made the book significantly easier to grasp and comprehend.

I like every part of the book to be honest and the pictures at the end of each chapters got me captivated because it sinks and links the message in properly. Thanks for the question and I really find the pictures at the end of each chapters significant.

I really loved the personal anecdotes that the author shared. They really made the experiences seem more believable and made the book as a whole a joy to read.
I also loved the medical jargon used. It was very informative and I learned new things every time. It also spurred me into research and learning even more.
Good question.

I really love how detailed the author is when it comes to her tips regarding healthcare matters. I also love it when she discussed the importance of having a comfortable and good relationship with your physician, and the part wherein she discussed where to buy affordable medication online.

I relished that the author acknowledges that everyone possesses unique paths. Things that have worked for some people may not pan out the way we want when we apply them in our lives. This uniquenesses appealed to me the most.

Gorgeous illustrations and her hand written text is just as lovely. The first part of the book about her own collection. A good read for anyone drawn to a collection of objects and the meanings we put upon them.

I like that it had such a calming impact on me. And the fact that same question were asked to everyone so there were different kind of opinions I liked that. Now I have many new perspective to a situation and how to handle that.

I also enjoyed the information (and the photos) about her family's past. It was captivating to read about how her mother worked as her husband's nurse. They even attended church in a different town so they could keep a professional relationship with the people in their town.

My favorite feature of this book is the author's real life experiences. I particularly like the experience of the man who had emotional problems, only to find out that he had a brain tumor.
