I'm happy so many readers found value in this book. Alas, it didn't resonate with me. I was enthralled by a couple moments, but I was ready to DNF during most of the book. My two major issues were I felt as though it was three different books from moment to moment and it felt like a missed opportunity to be so much more. To the former point, some anecdotes and subchapters were so strong, like the photography story and chapter 8 and conclusion. Then I don't know what was in the middle, it was self-helpish plus recipes and stories that seemed rambly and the main points weak or lost on me completely. To my second issue, well more so hope going in after listening to photography story, was that it was going to compare their real world experiences to case studies or data related to safety or murder. At the end I wished this book was like “The unthinkable: who survives when disaster strikes and why.” I know Karen and Georgia are not journalists, but to me chapter 8 demonstrated to me what these two are capable of doing. I would be interested in reading a second book by them.
