STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND GO BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW! Don't even bother to read the rest of this review, just go buy it, read it, soak it in. This is the book most of us have been waiting for. I knew I would be totally sucked in to it after loving Glennon's previous book Carry On, Warrior (Review here!) I just didn't know I'd love it as much as I do! Oprah recently gave it her Book Club seal of approval, and I even had more than one person take notice while I was reading it and exclaim they were reading it, too. With the exception of the first 15 pages or so, I read the entire memoir on the flights home from the Michaels Makers Summit (more on that soon!). I cried as inconspicuously as I could, often having to stop reading all together because I'm just a hot mess. My copy of the book is now overflowing with highlighted passages and notes in the margins. There are just so many incredible chapters, quotes, and ideas that I would struggle to choose my favorite. Luckily the rest of the internet is on it so I compiled a few of my favorite quotes below! Glennon has that magical quality with her writing that makes you want to stand up and shout "Oh my God, ME TOO!" Writers who find a way to be relatable to me totally have my attention. There is just so much honesty and truth and raw emotion in this book. I don't think you could possibly be disappointed by it. I feel like I need to take a few more days to process it all, and then read it all over again. It's that good, I swear. And it couldn't have come at a more perfect time.
Thank you for sharing this gift with us, Glennon!

That grief quote is so good and so spot on. I'm adding this to my list.
