Review:
I will be the first to put my hand up and say I am not at all keen on biographies. I found this book floating around on many social media accounts and out of curiosity decided to give it a shot. It turns out this was one of the very few biographies I actually liked. I found it to be very honest and touching at points but yet it was still easy to read through. The book provides a very raw and honest insight into the struggles of Daniella’s life. I loved that she stripped herself bare and took ownership over her own life issues. She explains her feelings in such a relatable manner whilst never feeling sorry for herself. It very much highlights the importance of self reflection and acceptance in order to move forward in life and deals with a range of very topical issues for example the importance of mental health, social pressure, anxiety, overcoming fear, and real life. For a book genre I am not very fond of I found I could not put this book down and I would urge anyone suffering from anxiety, burnout or other mental health issues prevalent in our online/fast paced culture today to read it.
