Review:
I got this ebook from Netgalley in return of an honest review.
I'm going to be honest: I downloaded this book a bit on a whim, mostly because the cover was so beautiful.
The concept of this book and the story behind it, how it came to be, was actually really heartwarming, and I wish I had had something like this to read when I was younger. It accommodates all the things we've been told all our lives and makes them clear, in a way that is so important for young girls to read, but not limited to it. I believe every young child should read and follow these motherly advices and, as teenagers or adults, we can read this and look back, remember how our lives can become full and honest and rich.
In my opinion, this was an extremely sweet, heartfelt, inspiring and rereadable book that can help you at any age, no matter how many times you have heard the things it says before.
I desperately want a physical copy of this book that I can pass down to my future children, so they can take from it everything I certainly did.
