Why read it?
1 author picked The Me List as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book had one basic message, and it came down to this: Take time to put yourself first because you matter too. I love this message so much because it took me years (and I’m still working on it) to learn the importance of self-care.

From Jacquline's list on The best books on the pleasures and perils of family ties.
