Another good book from Glennon Doyle. I liked Untamed better and purchased that book.

I follow Glennon on social media, and was interested to read this "origin story" of her battles with addiction, eating disorders, self love and her marriage and finished this book in one sitting! I was so compelled to keep turning the…

Some parts I found harder to get into but I'm glad I did because it's a great story. A few chuckles and Yes, tears.

Definitely a worthwhile read. At times it seemed self indulgent and repetitive. Glennon's issues belong to many and she has a persistant way of working through problems, I give her tons of credit to keep things positive in the face of…

Reading this felt a little like being a passenger in a fast moving car without a seatbelt... A little” Girl Interrupted “,a little Mary Karr. But Glennon Doyle Melton just doesn’t wear her emotional shirt inside out; Which would be…

Excellent story that encourages us to accept our humanness. A quick and inspiring read. I appreciate that it comes in large print so I could actually hold the book in my hands while I read it.

An excellent book about a girl with TONS of problems who got her act together by hook or by crook only to have her marriage disappoint her. But she did the right thing--she fought for her marriage, worked hard at it with her husband and…

Wonderful, insightful book that allows the reader to gain knowledge and self help from the author. Whether you have dealt with some, all or none of the issues that Melton has, the reader will come away feeling inspired to lead a better,…

Its a story of healing and to face pain head on. A beautiful, brutal journey for anyone who yearns for a deeper relationship. At first I didn't like the way the author wrote the book, the way it was presented, but as I got use to her…

I wanted to smack the self-pity and martyrdom out of this woman. I knew she would go back to her cheating husband and lost all my respect for her. Put the book down right after that. So disappointing.

Nothing "new" here. Yeah she's open and raw about her past, experience etc., but how does it help the next person confront what needed to be confronted before she got married such as: why are we getting married in the first place, what's…

I don't read Glennon's blog, nor had I ever heard of her prior to seeing her latest book, Love Warrior being advertised on Goodreads. It doesn't matter to me that her book is on Oprah's Book Club List for 2016; but I did read reviews about…

Honest, raw, and powerful.

Melton's experiences in her life and her marriage could belong to anyone. The difference is how she reflects on them and how she articulates the process of growth necessary to function in a healthy and fulfilling way. This is an extremely…

Melton shares her story of pain in a way that every woman can find a piece to connect. While the incidents might not be the same as hers for some of us, the mask she wears is not unfamiliar. She explains that without pain, there is no…

This was a great read. Glennon's story is inspiring in its strength and resilience, and her writing is reflective, engaging, and powerful. She talks about her relationship with her husband in ways that aren't often discussed- from their…

I don't normally like these types of memoirs at all, but I was curious about this one and decided to try it. I'm happy to say the author won me over. I thought she did a very good job of expressing herself. The writing was very heartfelt…

I got to hear Glennon speak at Book Expo America and was amazed at how open and raw she was about her feelings and thinking. The book is no less, exposing herself and her marriage at a level you don't see often. I like reading about people…
