I guess part of me is looking for a simpler (and less hectic) life and I found out about this book from Alison May at Brocantehome.
After reading the blurb (as shown below) I downloaded it out of curiosity to find out
more about Lilabean and what she did.. The book is written almost like a poem
and is extremely easy to read.
OMG I am Lilabean, in
the first couple of chapters at least - trying to do everything for everybody
and not enough time for me.
I am looking to change and make things simpler in my life
just as Lilabean. I guess I was hoping that there would be some ideas on how to
simplify disguised in poetry. Unfortunately in that respect I was
disappointed. Apart from de-cluttering
and changing where she shopped there was very little detail about how she
changed her life. In fact, towards the end of the book it felt that either the
author had run out of time and needed to finish the book as quickly as possible
or just ran out of ideas.
However the story is beautifully written and I could not put
it down. There were so many things I could relate to whilst reading and the
thoughts and emotions that Lilabean experiences I can totally understand what
she is going through. Her journey is one that I am just embarking on and I hope
to experience some of the relevations that Lila did and end up with the life I
want to lead not one that I feel I am expected to lead.
