I adore Kristin Chenoweth and while reading this book I found myself reading it in her voice! While yes it was heavy on the religious talk, the messages she was sharing were solid and worth sharing. I enjoyed this read and I‰ЫЄll for sure be recommending it when it comes out!
I liked this more than I first thought I would. I listened to it so of course it was delightful. I’d like to get the actual book so I can highlight some parts and read them over and over
At the beginning, I wondered if I went into this the right way…I checked it out as an audiobook, and there were times when the author/narrator advised the reader to fill out PDFs I didn’t have in this format. But further in, as the stories got more personal, I was glad to hear her read them…it made them more meaningful than just the words on a page.
Audiobook read by Kristen herself. I've loved Kristen Chenoweth since I was a little girl and I found this book on my library app and figured "why not!" It was only a 3hr audiobook so I listened to it one day while cleaning and I loved it. I just love Kristen and her voice is so soothing, it's like a 3hr meditation about the entertainment industry - perfect for me! Also this cover is ADORABLE.
Loved some of her sentiments like “stop apologizing and say thank you for being patient with me” but could do without all the religious aspects.
This fell somewhere in between a 3 and 4 star book.
Totally recommend listening to this one on audio. It's narrated by Kristen Chenoweth and of course, she had some singing & lyrical dictation that enhanced the entire experience.
4 Stars for Kristin's deeper "Thoughts" that were brought out in an essay format. They were thought-provoking, tear-jerking, and funny.
3 Stars for the fluffy lists and random quotes peppered within. While they sometimes made me smile when reading, they didn't add value to the book as a whole. She had such a lovely writing style that I wish she would have continued those thoughts more.

I loved that the walls came down and Kristin came out to share some light on these little thoughts that connect big feels.
It’s a short read. I enjoyed it. Some of the moments of meditation and bits of faith were what I needed to hear. As someone not in faith and dealing with my own skeletons it’s nice to see someone that’s in the spotlight be real even if just for a second. Gives me a little hope.
In short:
Did I like it? Yeah
Would I recommend it? Yea if the right reader comes along.
Would I read more by this author? Maybe.

I snagged this because I love Kristin Chenoweth and based on the title I thought this might be a fun read. Other than that I had no expectations! I didn’t realize she already has written another book. I didn’t expect so many references to scripture but it didn’t impact my feelings about the book. This one was filled with anecdotes and bits of wisdom that I thoroughly enjoyed I really would like to read a physical copy, because the eGalley seemed to have messed with the formatting making it hard to follow at times.
I also would like to take notes in the margins of this one. I found myself nodding and hi lighting so many thoughts she shares. It was a good and quick read, and I will likely purchase the physical copy.

I liked hearing Kristin's voice in the audiobook and enjoyed the few moments when she sang a couple of lines. Overall, the content was a bit disjointed.
