5.0 out of 5 starsUnmissable. Heartbreaking. Insightful. BUY THIS BOOK!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 April 2020
I’m just over half way through this book but I couldn’t wait a moment longer to leave a 5 star review.

This is a book for the ages. A masterpiece of contextual thinking. One that makes you feel everything, think differently about everything and bask in the genius and sensitivity of the literary delivery.

I learned about Glennon on Brené Browns podcast, which was beyond interesting, but contained only really a glimpse of her deep insight and inspiring humility.

This book is a collection of stories, metaphors and musings that could not be more relevant to the current socio-cultural climate.

I am learning, growing and feeling deep grace with every page I read.

If you are sitting there trying to decide whether to purchase this book - you must! It is an investment in yourself, your family and your role in the future of humanity.

Thank you Glennon for such a groundbreaking piece of work. 🙏🏻

2.0 out of 5 starsProsaic !
Reviewed in Australia on 16 October 2020
I only read the book for bookclub and I found it's hard to believe that it has such good online reviews. I appreciate the honesty of the author sharing her lifestories and the interesting angle for the beginning of the book, but the book itself seems lack of content. The structure of the book reminds me of reading these inspirational book. It keeps repeating the same thing in different formats throughout chapters. The language was dull and prosaic.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 August 2020
I was ready to embrace this book.
But it’s pure drivel. Empty, feel good platitudes with very little substance, to the
I do not understand the hype surrounding this at all.
My guess is that there are a lot of lost, bored women with no purpose around that are the ones lapping this up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time
Reviewed in Australia on 18 May 2021
I got the audiobook and really struggled to finish it since I thought it was a load of rubbish. Lots of empty rambling. It was a waste of time.

1.0 out of 5 stars A book written to be turned into Instagram quotes

Did not enjoy. Do not recommend. Lots of it makes no sense but sounds “inspirational”. Complete drudgery. I’d love to hear you argue this with me because I genuinely do not understand the hype at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fairly focused on motherhood
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 July 2020
Verified Purchase
I really wanted to love this book after friends raved about it. It just didn’t grab me in the same way, I didn’t even finish it. In particular I felt it very geared towards mothers, and motherhood being the thing that saved her, and motherhood being pretty much the be all and end all. It may have got better, but I was so irritated I stopped reading half way through. Great if you are a mother, very exclusive if, for any reason, you are not and might feel sensitive about that. Just not for me.

1.0 out of 5 stars I don’t get the hype
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2020

Sorry to say I found this book uninspiring, quite dull, and I simply couldn’t make it to the end. I’m honestly not sure what the fuss is about. I read the hype and was really excited, but it’s not for me at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars A book of egotistical stories, not an advice book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2020
Verified Purchase
Yawn! Sorry but this was terrible! I assumed the reader was going to be offered advice on how to stop pleasing people, rather than a book of egotistical stories of the author's life. Returned.

1.0 out of 5 stars A book about how to overthink!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 August 2020
Verified Purchase
I’m glad I’m not the only one who wasn’t impressed with this book. Iv’e never conformed to what is expected, I’m strong minded and think for myself, I got to the thoughts on shower gel packaging and that was enough for me. Who has time to care about wording and packaging on shower gel bottles? It doesn’t define you in any way. We are all being taught to overthink everything, why, what, when! Sometimes you just have to keep life simple, it’s nice sometimes not to worry about every little thing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really boring, can't finish it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is very boring, don’t understand how it got so many good reviews, the story is just so average. I was in a flow of reading good books and now I’m stuck with it. I will try to finish Just because I bought loads of books and I hate to don’t finish anything but I would definitely not recommend to anyone. Read “Return to love” by Marianne Williamson, now that is inspiring.

1.0 out of 5 stars Untamed - ignore the hype
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this book after hearing reviews about how it changed people's lives and the numerous celebrity endorsers. I wish I hadn't. The money would have been better spent having a drink with friends.
I couldn't get past the feeling that the book is a self serving justification for her behaviour. Yes I broke my children's hearts and made them miserable for years but I made them 'brave' in so doing, so that's ok. Also the author believes her audience can't grasp simple concepts She gave us a 3 page explanation about why her daughter was 'brave' not to get her ears' pierced. We get it, its not hard and hardly a revelation that saying no can be difficult.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unhinged
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2020
Verified Purchase
An unhinged woman with a strong addictive personality who basically have no self control, selfish enough to marry a man knowing she doesn’t love him and is also gay then continues to have kids and put them through hell, has an epiphany at 40+ and decides to preach through some nonsensical anecdotes. Highly inspirational stuff that ! Although hardly a surprise someone coming from a narrow minded American Christian community where the average IQ is probably 35.
