4.0

3.5 ⭐️ (rounding up for goodreads)

This ARC was given to me by Thomas Nelson in exchange for an honest review - thank you! #ad #sponsored

I enjoyed the author’s conversational tone throughout the book and she is quite funny; however, it did seem a bit disorganized. I felt that the personal anecdotes were told one after another rather haphazardly. I appreciated that the author did try to point to scripture in each chapter. I felt the book was somewhat disjointed, like she took a bunch of her stories and squished them together to make a book - I guess I would just have like more of a road map.

As someone who has struggled with friendships as an adult, I didn’t really find any useful/meaningful help in improving my relationships but the stories and experiences were very relatable if anything.

I will also say I probably don’t have the same theological views of the author (i.e. mentions the enneagram, quotes Brené Brown and champions Beth Moore, etc. I’m sure there are more but these stood out to me as I don’t run in that particular crowd) but I’m not including that in the star rating more as a heads up if you have the same convictions as I do about these particular topics and people.
