In this nonfiction book, the author found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle: earn more, buy more, want more, and repeat. She challenged herself to live and document a year of spending less, and consuming less, from decluttering her physical living space through organizing the mess of her life. This book could have been distilled into a fraction of the pages…more appropriate to a blog format, which stands to reason as this project was a blog. Spoiler alter – Flanders dedicates the majority of the book recounting various excesses in her (past life) – alcohol, drugs, food, debt – and throws in memories of failed relationships, career conundrums, and oodles of self-doubt – so that it feels overall like I’ve just been through a year of someone else’s therapy.
