I'm 1/3 of the way through and the entirety of the content is praising Crunchy Mamas and homeschooling. I was hoping it would be more science-based. There's also a lot of motivational poster jargon which cheapens the content.

I didn't expect to tear up so profusely in the Target parking lot as I listened to this. I don't think there's another book I've read where I've fallen so in love with each and every character so quickly and so immensely within a span of an hour-long book.

It's a profoundly beautiful and bittersweet story. I'm going to go call my Mama now. 

The first book to ease some of my worries about being a mum while providing realistic advice. 

Beautiful, informative, and intriguing. I love seeing and reading stories of women and girls making strides in society. I love to see coverage on folks with disabilities proving society wrong and following their heart as well, and that is what you'll find in this book. It's inspired me to look up her music and TED talks. 

This book is heavy and heckin sad, which is not my speed. I might pick it up in the future if the capacity for this genre returns, but for now it's going to be DNF'd.

I learned so much about these amazing women who aided the war effort. I loved that, as mentioned in the epilogue, this book is only a little bit fiction and otherwise historically vetted by experts of Bletchley Park. 

Many phrases are repeated, and the overall sentiment is "get over it and clear it out." If doesn't account for ADHD or other executive dysfunction. Finally, it feels too campy and repetitive.
