Untamed by Glennon Doyle
reflective
medium-paced
3.0
Rating: 3/5 stars
Part memoir and part self-help, Untamed is Glennon’s story of self-discovery and empowerment.
I listened to this one entirely because I needed a “U” book for a reading challenge and I remembered hearing a lot about it a few years back. It was fine, nothing particularly groundbreaking in my opinion, and not really my usual type of read, but with some nice moments and takeaways.
This one definitely subscribes to the school of “girl boss” feminism, which is *fine* (lots of the time I subscribe to that school myself!) but can get a little grating in parts. I definitely felt like some moments were a bit preachy or over the top, but overall I get what the author was trying to do here, and it more or less worked well.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend this, but give it a shot if it sounds good to you!
CW: drug use/addiction; homophobia; infidelity, sexism
