I particularly enjoyed the author’s reflections on how her perception of Grey’s Anatomy characters changed as she matured, as well as her departure from evangelism and her insights from that experience. Everything else was fine, just not my cup of tea.

I liked it. Parts I really liked. She’s hilarious and her turn of phrase is on point. I also think I would have enjoyed it more 10 years ago… I might not be the right audience.

I first came across the author through her Tiktok and was immediately interested when I saw her book. I’m so glad I decided to give it a listen. Devrie (after listening I feel like we are friends, on a first name basis for sure) covers a lot of topics and like most collections, some essays spoke to me more than others.
I really appreciated that she talked about the pain and grief of losing meaningful friendships. I don’t think this is talked about much but it’s so painful. I also really appreciated when she wrote about changing her beliefs in a really major way from the religion she grew up with.
Thank you to the publisher, Netgalley and Libro.fm for the free ebook and audiobook to review.

Perhaps tiktok stars should not be given books deals no matter how relatable and good their videos might be…. Mind you, I was EXCITED to read this book bc she does make good videos.
Unfortunately however, it reads like my high school and college blog entries: fake deep and using too many metaphors with a just insane amount of main character syndrome. Add to it the “humor” of a Tumblr style text posts from the 2012’s and I just couldn’t finish it.
