Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir
Niazi does show a certain devil-may-care swagger by describing Life After Ambition as merely 'good enough,' which all but dares readers to dismiss it ... In doing so, though, she lowers her audience’s expectations ... Life After Ambition’s sentences are workmanlike, with an overreliance on set or hackneyed phrases ... It is as if Niazi expects her audience either to intuit the reason she pursued writing or not to care, rather than treating her literary yearning as a subject worthy of consideration and time.

Perfect for anyone who believes there is more to life than work, more to parenthood than juggling packed calendars and more than enough reasons to be good enough.

While the story at times strays from the author’s central thesis about ambition, this is overall a powerful and generous work. A warm, vulnerable memoir about trading ambition for sincerity and joy.
