5.0 out of 5 stars Great book October 5, 2012
By Soleil
Format:Kindle Edition
Absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone. Very well written and helpful. It is not one of those light reads when someone writes something, throws in a couple of jokes about parents being sleep deprived and that's it. No. You'll need to actually sit down and perhaps even take notes. I highlighted a lot of segments just so it would be easier to go back and read the parts that spoke to me the most. Great book.
