This is the kind of book that you read a few pages and put down. It seems to be slightly repetitive, basically telling the reader to keep going. What was most interesting where the parts she actually shared stories of her life the bits about her son post divorce but they were few and far apart.

I had never heard of her but she's popular in twitter with her motivational tweets. I liked it. It took about 1 and a half hours to read. It felt like a little pick me up.

Once I saw this was compared to Glennon Doyle and Anne Lamott, I knew I wanted to read it and I was not disappointed.

This is basically a series of pep talks, but it's also a lot more beautiful and profound than that might sound. Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed is my favorite book ever, but this is a great follow up read, too. 

I don't think everything will apply to everyone, but there are a lot that will apply to any given person. I'm so glad this book was pitched to me; I absolutely loved it. (I don't want to share any excerpts because it feels like the worst kind of spoiler.)

This is a very real contender for my favorite book of the year, and yes, I know it's only January.

Highly recommended.
