It has been a long time since a book has meant so much to me. Carolanne Miljavac is honest, real and raw. She has been through a lot but still is encouraging and upbeat. She shares her life and her faith with courage and humor. She said words that I NEEDED to hear and I will be forever changed because of her book.
Leah B, Reviewer
This book has far exceeded my expectations. I honestly was not prepared for all the emotions that is compacted into this book; humor, grace, joy, sadness. I was absolutely in awe how Carolanne Miljavac was so brave of telling her story, her truth of her loss, brokenness, and hurt and her battle of overcoming all of these obstacles of her past and was able to see her truth in herself through God and developing this relationship with Him and what it all took to get there. Not only was she able to tell her story of personal growth, but she sheds light on God's will for you and for me and how much He loves us even in our dark days and how we can get through them. Her personal development has became part of mine. Thank you Carolanne!

It has been a long time that I sat down and read a book. Reading was my first love, and I have neglected it for so long. After reading Carolanne Miljavac's book, it reminded me how much i miss and enjoy reading. The author shares her story through humor, akwardness, and faith. Odd(ly) Enough: Standing Out When the World Begs You To Fit In, a feel good book that is also raw, real, and truthful.

I received a few chapters ahead of time from the publisher for the purpose of sharing my honest review.
Carolanne shares of her life experiences growing up in Alabama. She presents her story in a way that one feels a gamut of emotions from joy to grief and back again. Her southern accent delightfully shines out in her writing. Humor is an obvious part of who she is.
The author's words offer encouragement, motivation, and hope. Many parts challenge the reader to live a more transparent life and to live it for Jesus. Carolanne is a Christian and shares the hope she has found in Him.
Reader beware that some of the personal stories may be difficult to read. Carolanne has journeyed through some very difficult things.
I found this book refreshingly real, brutally honest, and parts of it caused bursts of laughter. I give it 5 stars and encourage you to read it: you will be blessed.
