This book was healing. I didn’t particularly love it as it felt disjointed at times… jumping from topic to topic. However I can certainly appreciate the message and how it’s shaped feminist discourse over the past few years! 4/5 stars.

Den havde nogle gode pointer (så langt som jeg nåede) og fik også noteret nogle af dem….men det var bare ikke en bog jeg havde lyst til at hive frem- og jeg tror bare ikke jeg er så meget til selvhjælpsbøger, følte jeg sneglede mig frem

Love this essay collection. Some hit harder than others, but I love her writing style and how jarring some of her phrasing is: simple and substantial. This book took me over a year to read as I "broke" it off into chunks to fully absorb things. Will definitely reread an essay at a time and highlight

This book ripped me apart again and again, it’s like the author was inside my brain. A discussion on womanhood, motherhood, queerness, indoctrination, everything. The writing was beautiful and I found myself wondering how she was able to convey all the feelings and thoughts I’ve had in such eloquent sentences. This is a book I will continue to reread I believe at different points in my life and know I will get something completely different from it each time.

Was so excited to finally read this and I’m throughly disappointed. I think this book would’ve been more influential, inspiring, or enjoyable if I was very young and sheltered and didn’t know sh*t about life, but as a young adult (who probably still doesn’t know sh*t about life, but is a little less sheltered), I didn’t find any of the revelations or lessons thought provoking at all; I’m pretty sure I had similar revelations before I even came of age. Not sure what that means for me or for Glennon, but this just wasn’t for me.

Struggled a bit with this book. There were lots of great one-liners but what I think my biggest problem is that I don’t love self-help motivational speakers. That’s on me though. Mediocre book, kinda hard to get through. Not great but not terrible. You probably would need to be personally aligned with her political beliefs to not be totally turned off.
