I choose the life in which I read this 3 years ago, rather than this week.

I loved this as I was reading it, and at first rated it as 4.5, rounded up to 5.
On reflection, though, enjoyable as it was, it was a bit predictable after a while, and it didn't have the merit of being very "actionable" having read it, so I'm dropping it to 4*.

It's probably still my most enjoyable read of 2023, though.
