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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much other than 'Me' stories
Reviewed in Australia on 22 March 2021

Really disppointed in this book. I thought it would be more empowering and thought provoking while being a guide for women - but it's really just self involved short stories that don't have a point. There are some good one liners, but no teaching or learnings, no exercises and nothing outside of her lifestyle and perspective. Think more instagram captions and blog posts rather than a book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Überbewertet
Reviewed in Germany on 18 August 2020

An und für sich ist die message "höre auf deine eigene Stimme, sei dir selbst die Nächste und tu nichts, nur weil es sich so gehört" ja durchaus gut und gut rübergebracht.
Dafür würden allerdings 20% des Buches reichen. Im ganzen, langatmigen, autobiografischen Rest geht es darum, wie die superchristlich-amerikanische Autorin ihren Mann verlässt, um mit ihren Kindern mit einer Frau zusammenzuleben und sich dadurch befreit. Für Nicht-Mütter, die sich nicht gross daran orientieren, was Gott zu ihrer Lebensführung sagt relativ uninteressant und unspektakulär. In der Kindl-Leseprobe war das Beste des Buches bereits enthalten - den Rest hätte ich mir sparen können.

I saw the 5 stars reviews and I'm sure many people enjoyed and could relate to it, but for me, I just couldnt get on with it. Too much about her own story which I found it pretty boring

2.0 out of 5 stars Promising title but too much on “I’m happy being with a woman now”...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2021

I appreciate the book for all the advice on motherhood and career/ life balance. However, I felt it is too much focused on justifying or explaining the life choice the author made, i.e. changing her sexual orientation and marrying a woman.

The first 2/3 chapters I enjoyed but after that I felt more and more like I was being preached at and judged and definitely found wanting.
