A chapter summarising what her friends and family are currently doing sure provides closure to many of the characters. It's quite clever and unique. Thanks for the well-written review!

Finding the Exit by Lea Ellermeier resonates the same positive attributes you've described this book to have. Although I've got no definite plans to establish my own business at present, I like stories of courage and resilience amidst trials and achieving success thereafter. Thank you for your thorough review.

Great review! :tiphat:
I think I would also like the two things you really loved about this book. Not the only things of course, but especially the closure one.
"I am delighted that Christine dedicates as much of her book to her road to success as she does about her childhood."
"Christine provides the reader with closure about many of the characters they meet throughout the story. This is achieved by writing a chapter summarising what her friends and family are currently doing. To me, this makes the book feel complete. "

Not my usual book to read but after your review I am tempted. It sounds like a really interesting story
The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon

You gave a very thorough review of the book. It sounds like a complete story, as the author shared her past abusive life and how she achieved happiness. I like that the book includes the time spent on her life after achieving and keeping happiness, after all the negative and unhappy background and experiences.
