Why read it?

1 author picked Self Care as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Self Care is a timely novel with interesting ideas and characters. I devoured it during a few trips to the beach while on vacation, so needless to say, it's a great beach read. This novel really moves and is written with a light touch, ensuring it never veers into being overly serious. 

Typically, I find the world of startups, social media and self-care gurus to be unbearable. Stein circumvents the minefield of potential obnoxious tendencies and tropes, revealing characters that feel real and even garner some sympathy.
