#27 The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck.

Week 27: Write a review: on anything… a new food, a book you just read, an App, etc. 

I thought for today's series post post, I would share with you a review on a book I've just finished reading called The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck by Sarah Knight. 

The full title of the novel is The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck: How to Stop Spending Time You Don't Have with People You Don't Like Doing Things You Don't Want to Do. And honestly, the book is just that -- it's been referred to as a non-self-help book. I found it quite a comical, easy read and was finished in two, quite short, sittings. It is a parody of the novel, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo. And as you can probably imagine, it has a lot of swearing in it; so, if swearing isn't really your thing than this book probably isn't for you. 

I've read quite a few serious books about decluttering your friendships in life, but I think I need this comical relief throughout a novel to truly appreciate and listen. Since I could relate more to the humour in this novel, I found I payed more attention to it and took the advice more seriously. I came into reading this book thinking that it would be quite sassy and humorous, but didn't expect to finish the book actually thinking about my friendships/relationships. 

If you're looking for an easy-reading, comical and sassy yet overly relatable and helpful novel, you've probably come to the right place. As long as you aren't sensitive about the 'F' word, I'd recommend this book to anyone!

XO
