I picked this up after watching Insecure. I had already read Issa Rae's book, so I was looking forward to reading one by one of her co-stars. It was a finalist in the GR Choice Awards humor category, but a big warning to anyone looking for something funny - this is not it. It was straight up a self-help book, a genre that always leaves me un-enthused. It also felt like the author was talking to much younger people, I would imagine that a target audience would be high school or college girls that she is handing down wisdom to. The places where it shined the most was where the author was talking specifically about her life and situations she has navigated, but they are few and far between in a sea of generalities about far too many topics smushed into one self-help tome.
