This is a fun and sometimes informative look at personal finance. I honestly though could have done without the reference to cryptocurrencies; I don’t think anyone with a brain should be touching those things. 

Although this book isn’t life changing and some of the stuff is pretty simple, it is displayed in a digestible and interesting way.

I was bored with this book, I felt bad for the heroine though (not being allowed to divorce your horrible spouse). I didn’t like the hero and it was too slow burn for me.
