I Thought It Would Be Better Than This: Rise from Disappointment, Regain Control, and Rebuild a Life You Love by Jessica N. Turner

5.0

I didn’t expect this book to hit so hard. There were nuggets of truth in there that I absolutely needed to read. It started off very strong, the middle made me slow down quite a bit, but it finished hard and wrapped up in such a profound way. I read it via ebook and am considering buying a real copy. That’s how much it resonated! I both want to give this woman a huge hug for what she has experienced and simultaneously feel like she has come the closest to understanding my own personal losses in life, more so than anyone else. Also? I already bought a copy and had it mailed to a friend who I know needs these words just as much as I did. So yeah, 5 stars!
