I liked the general sentiments of this book and had an enjoyable reading experience, but I wish we had truly gotten to know Glennon through her writing. Each chapter felt too short and all personal information shared was there to make a larger point. It read more like a self-help essay collection than a memoir.

This book couldn’t have arrived at a better time in my life. While the writing can come across as preachy, as soon as I set aside my hesitations with the language being used, it became much more relatable and eye-opening for me. There were chapters I had to reread, simply because what she was saying resonated and I wanted to soak it all in. She writes so candidly, humorously, and beautifully about her experiences and brings up some difficult but important questions centered around spirituality, sexuality, and race. I appreciate her approach.

Glennon Doyle has the unique ability to see inside my (and clearly many others') mind and heart. This book is raw and beautiful and challenges you to be the best version of yourself.
