LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her!!! Laugh out loud book and makes you giggle often. All too relatable to our normal, everyday moms out there. “…relief when you need rescuing…hope in the midst of hardship.” That’s exactly what this book did for me. Helped me laugh my way through hard times and gave me a better grip on reality.

I Love this Girl! She is so inspiring while keeping things real and makes life funny! I can not recommend her enough! So thankful to netgalley for this early review copy!

First of all, this book cover is perfect! This book is well written and focuses on common feelings of Christian women. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

Carolanne Miljavac has to be one of my absolute favorite nonfiction authors, and she doesn't disappoint in this new book. Mrs. Miljvac truly believes that laughter is the best form of medicine. She hasn't had an easy life, but she has strength in spades and helps us to see how we can get through our trials just like she did. She is vulnerable and personable as she shares her life stories, how she has laughed through them, and grown through them. As always Carolanne wants to encourage you in your daily life, in your walk with God, and in learning your identity in Christ. I would recommend every woman read this book. After all, we all need to learn how to laugh at ourselves.

Quick read and pick me ups. Laughed quite a bit while reading this book. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

#netgalleyreview #Netgalley #latetothegame #shelaughs #carolannemiljavac we've all seen her on Instagram or maybe Facebook or maybe you've been fortunate enough to see her live. She's the girl that makes us giggle. She wrote her second book. And in this book it's all about #faithoverfear she is relatable. She makes you giggle. You feel like it's you and your best friend just talking ❤️ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookreader #bookreview #mustread #truthbombs #comedy #theresjesuspeople #adoreher #bemybestfriemd 😂

If you're someone (especially a mom) who has spent any time on social media at all, you've probably watched a couple of CA Milijavac's hilarious videos. She Laughs: Choosing Faith over Fear is just as relatable.

This light-hearted book will keep you laughing while still carrying a much-needed message. Anxiety and fear of the future is something that so many of us struggle with. Carolanne reminds us that having anxiety doesn't mean we aren't trusting Jesus; it just means we live in a fallen world.

She Laughs is a book I'll be recommending to my friends and coming back to read again.

This book was amazing. I love how Caroline takes us on her journey, her struggles, her fears and how she overcame and the love God has for us through it all.

It was inspiring to say the least. I felt a little less like I"m doing this life alone and feeling like all the struggles I have are unknown to others. I felt more shored up and encouraged. I can't wait to buy more copies for my friends.

Totally worth reading!

For some reason. the formatting of this NetGalley copy was all over the place and I had a difficult time reading it. But what I could read seemed to be funny, personal stories that the author used to make a point and encourage her readers. I’ll grab a print copy of this book so that I can do a much better review a little later on the book.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

A uniquely written book, written by women who have gone through certain issues during their daily lives. The stories are funny, interesting and at times embarrassing which can also be similar to my own life stories. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh. Each story has bible verses and thought provoking questions to reflect on what you have read and how any changes can be made to improve your day or life.

She laughs in the face of poverty, brokenness, grief, despair Disaster. Hopeless Situations. Life’s Struggles. And this book reminds us that we can laugh in the face of these things too!


In this book Carolanne Milijavac is on a journey of joy.


Carolanne believes with all her heart laughter is a gift, that it can provide a little bit of distraction from whatever it is you might be facing. It offers relief from the pain you might be suffering.


Despite having a life dotted with disaster, she found strength and the courage to go on in laughter. She found the courage to persevere and joy for the journey. In this book Carolanne will help you see how laughter can help you through your own painful circumstances.

Happy Reading!

Great Book! I loved how open and informative the author was. Will definitely recommend it to my friends.

She Laughs is a quick read that helps the reader see how the author chooses joy in her life. I have a friend who faves health issues and I often take her 2 hours to her specialist. We talk of the stories in this book and like the autho find things to laugh about. This book will change your perspective and bring you to a place of joy.

Funny, encouraging read of the author's experiences. Only ten short chapters, this is a quick read. This would be a great gift for a friend who is facing a lot of struggles, as the author has had her share and yet still can laugh. Miljavac is a popular Facebook blogger and brings her trademark humor to this read.

I was an early reader, thanks to #Netgalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

She Laughs by Carolanne Miljavac was such a fun, uplifting way to start 2020. If you are a fan of Carolanne on social media this book will not disappoint and gives a little insight into how she has used laughter from an early age to press through some of the most difficult times in her life along with her faith to help propel her forward. I thought the book continues to add a layer of vulnerability and authenticity to her social media platforms that will make you enjoy her work even more.

The author shares with the reader how, even in many types of adversities in life, she has chosen to laugh and choose joy in the midst of these trials, using these as a distraction. She helps the reader to see that choosing faith in God, joy and laughter can be a big help in getting able to survive and get through the trials with a peace and joy in life.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing was under no obligation to post a review.

I almost passed on requesting this book from NetGalley, I'm so glad I didn't. This book is so good! It will make you laugh out loud and also make you stop and think about your life. This is a book I will read more than once. Thank you Barbour Publishing Shiloh Run Press via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

In "She Laughs" by Carolanne Miljavac, humor keeps us focused on what really matters, by rubbing off all our corners, dusting the cobwebs away. Laughter lifts us up. It is truly the best medicine. The ability to laugh is a gift of God. It helps us to lift up our faith and conquer fear.

Laughter, the gift of a profound sense of humor, helps us to endure the hardest days. It helps us to persevere against all odds, even when everything is against us. Laughter gives us beauty when we are ashen and gray. "She laughs without fear of the future." There is always hope for us at the end of the tunnel, as long as humor knocks at the door of our hearts, requesting to be allowed in.

Laughter fills us with a beautiful sense of esteem and self-worth. It makes us feel good about ourselves, and in spite of ourselves. The lady who laughs is dignified and victorious, empowered to succeed, against all the odds aligned against her.

Laughter fills us with faith and shows fear the door. Faith keeps our hearts rooted in the truth that God is good all the time. A lady who laughs is at peace, even with an unknown future before her. She does not need to know the whys and wherefores.

The gift of laughter is precious. Cherish it like a priceless jewel. Laughter embues us with hope. It gives hope a voice and speaks life into our spirits. Faith, laughter, humor and hope go hand in hand. Laughter fills us with hope and joy for the future God plans for us.

Losing her little niece to cancer taught Carolanne to surrender to God, and in doing so, she found herself and God. Carolanne's authentic life reflects beauty for ashes. She pulls heartstrings with love and laughter. Her life's purpose is to spread love and joy, honestly and truthfully. I highly recommend "She Laughs" for all those who opt to choose faith over fear.

"Rejection of the world only brings you closer to the glory of God's plan for your life. Page turner. This is a book for everyone who feels like they aren't good enough, not worthy, or afraid of failure.

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. Psalm 31:25

Realizing if they aren't God, they don't matter. This book spoke to my heart. I never realized by choosing this book that it would completely change my perspective, on life, and on what others think of me.
Humorous, and laughter throughout this book!!! I had to read all the way through.
