worth the read/listen
Reviewed: 09-26-24
Some of the language was a bit excessive (referring to the swearing and the use of terms such as "boo", "obvs", etc.) but overall, a good amount of info to provoke further thought on topics relating to sexualising intimacy

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Too long.
Reviewed: 08-25-24
I don't understand why this has such high praises. I found it rather long-winded and boring in parts - shortened, it may have captured my attention more. I have struggled to finish this audio book and am doing so more out of stubborn determination than actually wanting to.

True power is living the realization that you are your own healer, hero, and leader. Inward is a collection of poetry, quotes, and prose that explores the movement from self-love to unconditional love, the power of letting go, and the wisdom that comes when we truly try to know ourselves. It serves as a reminder to the listener that healing, transformation, and freedom are possible.

Long winded to begin
Reviewed: 05-28-21
While michelle is a great writer and story teller, her story growing up is so long winded and boring.
The first part, Becoming Me, is about 3 hours too long (roughly 4 hours in length) - a half hour overview would have been sufficient. Instead, we have an overly detailed embellishment of what sounds like a ridiculously easy and ordinary upbringing, where the hardest thing she dealt with was choosing to hang out with fellow black kids at uni... Boring, to sum it up in one word. You can very easily skip this section and not miss anything important.
Part two and three are far more interesting and what I was expecting.
I'd recommend skipping, or at least listening to the first part at a minimum 1.5x speed.
Unfortunately, despite wanting to like this book a lot, I regret spending one of my credits on it 🥺

Super useful guide!
Reviewed: 02-17-21
This book has surprised me with just how useful the tips and tricks within it are!
It's not often I'll 5 star anything but Cassandra certainly deserves it for this.
She shares the perfect amount of ideas to get you started on tidying and decluttering your home and backs them up with just the right amount of anecdotes.
I found it handy to discover I'm a cricket/bee and my partner is a bee/butterfly (by my assessment).
So, if I make it easy for him to organise his stuff, that's a win for me too!
