I can see how this book would appeal to post-midlife-crisis formerly-evangelical-Christian women who are finally abandoning decades of repression to live untamed and happy and free (My mom, for example, loves the book, and I love that for her). And while there were a few sections in this book that did resonate with me, there were too many faux-poignant passages like this one: “Life is brutal and beautiful. Life is brutiful!”

relied heavily on platitudes and mixed metaphors, chapters were so short that none of her points were fully developed, also every conversation she recounted felt too perfect to the point of dishonesty

My god, this woman is exhausting. 😂 This is apparently her third book about “how to find yourself and the right way to live” and then that doesn’t work out so she writes a new memoir about the new thing she’s feeling…? I don’t know, she’s dealt with some things, like addiction and perhaps becoming exvangelical, but she also gives me the impression of being “white woman woke.” Not for me.
