I appreciated that this book relied heavily on psychology, which gave it an extra level of validity. And there is indeed some good advice in this book. However, the delivery fell short for me. The writing felt very dry—sterile and institutional. As such, I had a really hard time focusing on what I was reading. My mind wandered constantly, and there were a few times I nearly drifted off to sleep. Needless to say, I didn't retain much of what I read.
There is some good advice in this book, but as far as writing craft books go, this one didn't click for me.
Note: I received this book as an ARC, post factum. It was released April 24, 2025.
