My Thoughts:

                Plot is really inspiring. I liked how even in dire situations where most people were tensed about how things will be in the future Angela inspires everyone to think positively. And also tells everyone that this is a chance wherein they can look beyond this 9 to 5 job and achieve something even bigger than they are doing now.

                Characters are well developed and inspiring. I really loved Angela’s character she is really brave and curious to dive into things and start something which is challenging for her. The fact that she even invests all her savings into the project shows us how determined she is to achieve her dreams. But the fact that the entire team is enthusiastic about Angela’s plan and ready to put in all their efforts is an inspiring thing. In short, we can also say that Angela is really lucky to have such a supportive team by her side.

                Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done beautifully the pace of the story is also perfect and will surely inspire the readers to get out of their comfort zone and try something new. Book cover is beautiful and is apt with the plot. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

                Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and would surely recommend this book to everyone who is looking forward to read something inspirational or are afraid to take that one step which is stopping them from achieving their most awaited success in life.
