This is Glennon Doyle Melton's second book, her first was Carry On Warrior. In this book, the author focuses on marriage, especially after she finds out that her husband has a porn addiction and has been cheating. The story was interesting, and easy to listen to (I have the book, but listened to the audiobook). Doyle Melton tells how she came to a place of forgiveness, love and reunification with her husband, however the fact that she left her husband for a woman shortly after this book came out, made the story far less powerful. If she did all of the work, and soul searching, and found all the answers, why did she end up throwing it all away again so soon. I know that the author now has a third book out, Untamed, which I have on hold at the library, so we will see how her story develops, and if my questions are answered.

Need to think about the roles that I play and who I need to unbecome. I have thought in the past why it is that the world says that we should be happy all of the time. Why do we always feel it necessary to smile for photographs. What would others see if we didn’t? What would they determine about us? Why do we care? I really liked her explanation to her girls about sexy, pretty and beautiful. I want to remember those definitions in case I ever need them.

This book cracked me open. It left me in tears at certain points. I could really relate to this book. I will buy my own personal copy

I was first introduced to Glennon Doyle Melton on Oprah’s soul sessions, I loved and related to everything she said and her book is written just like she speaks, brutally honest, funny and quotable. I had so many ah-ha moments, I cried and then laughed and then cried some more, there were moments when I felt I was reading from a page in my own journal. This is a quick read but not an easy one, Glennon lays it all down bare. Be warned: you’re going to mark up your book with highlighters and bug everyone you know to read this book.

The first half of this book was a little slow, and wasn't really working for me. The second half more than made up for it. It was so beautiful and filled with so much truth. There were so many things that I needed to hear. I loved it.
