Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
I found this memoir really insightful and reflective. I have almost no prior knowledge of the Duggar family, but finished the book feeling proud of Jill for all her growth and progress she’s made. Some parts were glossed over - like the Tweets from Derick which I later found out were transphobic - which was disappointing but not surprising. However, I feel hopeful that Jill has the played a massive part in breaking the cycle of abuse and manipulation for her children and their future generations to come.
