REVIEW:
It’s been a while since I read nonfiction books, and today I’m so grateful I found this gem by Lilly Singh. Let me tell you why.
First off, it is INSPIRING and EMPOWERING. We all know that she uses her Youtube platform to inspire others but this is in another level – her book. in every challenges and struggles she encountered there’s always a lesson from it and she didn’t shied away from that. And before the chapter ends, there’s always questions that you will think twice about your personal endeavors. For me, this is a RAW LILLY SINGH, this side of her that I admire the most.
Second, her writing is very true to her style. To be honest, this is the first book that I read from all youtubers. Well, we all know that Lilly Singh is funny right? Yes, this book is also hilarious. It was like I can hear Lilly inside my head.
Personally, reading this kind of memoir gives me an insight to what it really feels like in the real world. Admittedly, I’m not the person who goes around try new things. But somehow there are few things that are very relatable. This book takes us from her life before and after the fame.
Whether you’re a fan of Lilly Singh or not but curious on the life of youtuber- you should definitely check this one out!
