Anne was let down a bit here by her editors, there's long periods of silence or breathing in between chapters and even unnaturally long pauses during the chapters. The actual content is fantastic, I absolutely adore Ann's books and her approach to these topics.

editing is a bit of a let down, but love you so much Ann!
