Guess when I started reading this? After the inauguration of a certain president, you say? Why, you're right! Along with updating passports, this was my safety net. I read one small section at a time, over that term and the next, foolishly telling myself it was no longer necessary. Well, here we are in 2024 and I'm either going to read it again or move on to another country. Portugal? Uruguay? Not sure, but the search continues. This book was self-published, and usually that's the kiss of death in regards to my approval (or lack thereof), but in this case, I really enjoyed her style. Is it perfect? Nope. Are there typos? Yep. But somehow, it makes the whole thing feel more chatty--definitely not stuffy--and very relatable. She loves to use exclamation points which usually make me shake my head, but in her case, it just makes her seem optimistic and fun. The book is laid out in an organized fashion and was a good template for expatriating oneself, say, if someone came into power who was a complete megalomaniac (and idiot) and wanted to nullify the checks and balances of our government. Just hypothetically, of course.
