I was finally able to get my hands on this book and see what all the hype was about, and I'm pleased to say that it did live up to it for me.
Glennon Doyle's writing is whimsical and light, but filled with such a deep, raw passion. I could tell that only a person who has gone through many trials and periods of uncertainty could write with such strength of conviction, and I liked that.
Like most books of this nature that I come across, I absolutely loved the beginning and was gripped very quickly, but did feel the middle drag a little. It can back in the end though.
There are some topics that I feel Doyle is better talking about than others, but that is to be expected. Not all of her quirky metaphors landed for me, but I could tell they came from a really pure and original place that was 100% Glennon, and that made them charming and special, even if not always the most elegant.
Overall, I thought this was a charming and inspirational work that I would recommend to women -- especially those with children and spouses --, I had a great time with this book and will happily pass it on.
