Vocabulary: 22 out of 100
Given writes an illustrated self-help book for a broad, often younger audience, so the register stays conversational and plain. It sits near the everyday vocabulary of Atomic Habits.
Sentence structure: 22 out of 100
Direct address and the illustrated, guide-style format point to short, accessible sentences. It reads closer to Beach Read in sentence structure than to anything demanding.
Abstraction: 35 out of 100
The book frames joy, pleasure and a rejection of toxic wellness culture as practical guidance for women. That keeps the ideas concrete and personal, like Atomic Habits, with some feminist concepts in play.
Information density: 28 out of 100
An illustrated guide of about 84,000 words spreads its ideas across art and short passages. It carries less per page than Atomic Habits.

How Women Living Deliciously is regarded
