Very Informative

This book made my day. I didn’t know where to turn about my situation I’m a life long introvert and listening to this Audiobook had me paranoid because the majority of the information in this. Was actually talking about me and what I’ve been going through my whole life Thanks for opening up my eyes. I will listen to this religiously so that this really sinks in. Thanks Mr Holden 💯 #LexingtonKentuckyLove
