For young adults

This book was more for young adults and people just starting out in their careers.

Fabulous

She is pretty much fabulous! Enjoyed this book thoroughly, lots of good dialog and informative.

Motivational & Honest

I really enjoyed this book. The author's experiences were very relatable while delivering perfect examples of why one should always be on point, if they want success. I love her honesty. It was an enlightening read, and very entertaining. The narrator sounded different most times, which was a distraction but overall I got the message. Thumbs up!

Loved it!

This book is perfect for anyone looking to kick-start or re-charge their careers. Well written and well read.

Pretty good

What turned me off the most about the book was that she never seemed to do anything wrong. She always got it right, was perfect on her first attempt of anything and I find that hard to believe and totally unrelatable. Honestly it made the first portion a bit of a drag to get through. It did however get better toward the middle of the book when she did open up about issues she had experienced. Over all it's an ok read.
