Ehh if you're white, might not be for you.
I was under the impression it was more like a break free from the matrix or rebel agains the system, break away from the brainwashed crap the system feeds us. But its not. I REALLY wanted to like this book but unfortunately I was more uncomfortable reading it. I'm not really sure how race plays into divine self, since I thought race or physical appearances has nothing to do with being in touch with higher self. But apparently it's got a lot to do with it. As a mixed race person, I felt a bit put off at how heavy it was aimed towards poc. Nothing wrong with that, but as a half and half, I felt like it was shaming me for being half white, and not mexican or native enough. It was a weird experience. At times she also contradicts herself saying darkness and shadow I
is not divine, but then goes on to say that it is a part of divinity. The language is also strange, "honie, bestie, bad b!tch, BFF" and so many "#hashtags" to the point where it was cringy. This is not like her usual books. I understand the author was trying to connect with a more poc female audience but it leaves out the males and non poc. I think it should be stated that this is the case since it's not blatantly obvious when purchasing this book. I was not a fan. I still like the authors previous books, but I'll have to be more wary in the future in case future works are like this. So glad I returned this. 😊
