It was a book. 

This stuff is useful, but for a self help book it was written with very science-y language. I work in this field, and understood it, but even my eyes glazed over a bit while reading it. I think with better consideration of the average person’s health literacy in mind, it could be very helpful.

What a delightful read. My kind of silly with a good mix of shenanigans, tomfoolery, cannon fire and romance.

Loved learning about the lakes I live near and love. Hated how the narrator pronounced Petosky.
