Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First - by Laura Tremaine. Book Review

Publishing Date: February 2nd
Genre: Nonfiction, Memoir

Rating: 4*


I liked Laura Tremaine's book a lot. The anecdotes she shares are at times wild and surprising, and it was great learning more about the person behind the 10 Things to Tell You podcast. The tone of the books is friendly, but at the same time I can see why she says her friends call her bossy. 

I don't necessarily like the way she tells the listeners on her podcast to "Now go share something", but I liked the way she invited and gave her readers the chance to think about each topic. She picked different questions and subjects of conversation, some deeper, some less, told her stories, and then asked questions for the reader to go deeper and talk or write about their experiences. Although it says the questions are aimed to deepen your friendships, I am sure they could be used for any meaningful, close relationship. I read this at the same time as my best friend did, and it made the experience even better. Clearly, we're doing this book right!


I found this book both easy to read, and deep enough to make you think. Maybe because I like the podcast I was even more open to the message she shared. I find her life choices and changes fascinating, and it was fun reading about them. I look forward to reading her next book.

I received a free e-book copy from the publisher via Net Galley. All thoughts expressed here are my own.
