In her hilarious, relatable voice, Graham reminds us to be curious and compassionate, no  matter where life takes us or what we've yet to achieve. Grounded  & inspiring -  and illustrated throughout with drawings by Graham herself 0 here is a comforting road map to a happy life...

Reflection 

This was one the best books I have read in a while! Graham wit & inspirational stories is what I needed over the last few months. As a university student facing many struggles in life Graham's words are my comfort & a lot of what she shares has stuck with me. Few of my favourite quotes from her are; 

"If you're kicking yourself for not having accomplished all you should have by now, don't worry about it. Even without any 'big' accomplishments yet to your name, you are enough." 
"Whatever path you choose, whatever career you decide to go afer, the important thing is that you keep finding joy in what you're doing, especially when the joy isn't find you"
              In conclusion, don't worry about it. You already have the most. And you're already one of the best 
 Graham writes from experience which I find fascinating because each word draws me in. This book is more than just a story, it's a guide for me & I absolutely recommend it!
