Holy Hot Mess: Finding God in the Details of this Weird and Wonderful Life by Mary Katherine Backstrom

4.0

I had to read this book to complete a book challenge I did this year. The task was "read a book outside your comfort zone."

As an Atheist, normally this wouldn't be a book I would give two thoughts to. Mary Katherine Backstrom herself, has been an inspiration to me. She is one of the reasons why I got help for my own mental health needs. I even had the pleasure of meeting her. This book is also signed by her.

Anyways, while I still don't believe in a higher being, I do admire her faith no matter what. What she calls guidance from God, I call life lessons.

I was able to relate to her in many ways especially when it came to parenting and always wanting to fit in, but like she says, you have to meet your people for you.

An incredible book which I thoroughly enjoyed and laughed along with her messiness.
