I love Glennon. I love her message. I love it so much. It's messed up that "good" mothering is associated with martyrdom, that women don't know how to untame themselves, that so many of us live without personal boundaries, and that many believe God to be like the powerful, self-obsessed men that run our countries. Reading Glennon taught me to read my own anger, build my Tara-island, and to do whatever the frick I want.

But I love her speaking more than I like it in a book. Each "chapter" ranges from .5-6ish pages. As soon as they start getting good, they're over! And they are rarely referenced or picked back up in later pages. Like the Rupi Kaur of memoir! So many chapters deserved their own book. Write me a hundred books, Glennon!

She does weird things, like slightly redefining words, and then capitalizes them for the rest of the book. Ex: "…love is trusting that other people Feel, Know, Imagine, too."

I love hearing an author's "voice," but not literally. Much of this sounds like she wrote this via voice memos to Siri. Like many self-help books, this would be better if it was just read at a Ted Talk (Definitely not yours, Brene). I can't wait to watch more speaking vids and IGTV of Glennon.

Swipe for favorite lines.

A great book for women looking to make big changes in their life. An I mportant read for white intersectional feminists.
