This book was very different than what I expected. However, there are some nuggets of useful information in dealing with challenging family members...not necessarily grandparents.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

DNF. It's not you, Brit Barron, it's me. This wasn't quite the book I was expecting going into it, and that's on me for not researching the author ahead of time.

This was a difficult read because it was so uncomfortable, but wow is it necessary. I really encourage everyone with problematic family members (so basically every human being alive) to give this a read.

This was a hard one to get through for me, but very interesting and kept me thinking and applying things spoken about to my own life.

As someone who enjoyed Brit Barron's previous work, "Worth It: Overcome Your Fears and Embrace the Life You Were Made For," I rushed to request an ARC for this upcoming release, "Do You Still Talk to Grandma?"

In this insightful book, Barron skillfully explores the complicated intersection of maintaining relationships with loved ones while holding firm to our convictions, particularly in the face of bigotry and ignorance. Drawing from personal experiences, including familial struggles and community dynamics, Barron offers a helpful framework for nurturing growth and understanding within challenging relationships.

She advocates for creating spaces of grace and accountability, emphasizing humility, self-awareness, and a commitment to ongoing learning. "Do You Still Talk to Grandma?" is similar to "Worth It" in that it is a vulnerable exploration that encourages progressives to navigate difficult conversations with compassion. "Do You Still Talk to Grandma" is an essential read for readers seeking to reconcile empathy with their own personal truths.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read!

A great book for an insight into what it’s like to deal with a problematic member of the family. Recommend to anyone who can relate to this topic.
