Embrace Your Almost: Find Clarity and Contentment in the In-Betweens, Not-Quites, and Unknowns by Jordan Lee Dooley
4.0
When I first heard about this book, I was on the verge of entering a season of broken dreams. I didn’t know it then, but I was about to be thrust into the valley of heartbreak and grief.
In that season, I experienced unmet expectations and felt like everyone around me was living the life that I always wanted.
I’ve since found my footing again, and have moved forward with my life. But this book is, and likely always will, be applicable because it makes us feel seen.
This book depicts those broken seasons in such a raw and honest way that I couldn’t help but see myself in every moment.
I struggle to write reviews for nonfiction books because they aren’t focused on characters or plot. But this was a powerful book that really challenged me to think about my life in new ways…to make the most of the in-betweens…and to dare to dream and live and laugh when heartbreak abounds.
