My review...
I have never read anything by this author, but that will
certainly change in the future! This book is so relatable (and funny!) that I
had a hard time setting it aside.
The author is very open in sharing her personal stories and
experiences, from serious to cringe-inducing. It almost felt like sitting at
lunch with a close friend. Miljavac is upfront about her struggles. She’s honest
and raw, which is why I’ll recommend this book to many of my friends, particularly
those who are looking for some encouragement and struggling with fear. This is
one book I’m likely to read again.
There were so many quotes that struck a chord with me. Here
are just a few:
- “Once a stronghold of insecurity gets into your head, it is really tough to overcome.”
- “The hardest times in your life set you up for the deepest impact.”
- “Nothing changes if nothing changes.”
- “Fear isn’t going anywhere. But whether it controls you is up to you.”
- “Your ability to laugh is precious. Fight for it.”
- “Living according to other people’s expectations will weaken the purpose for which you’ve been created.”
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing, but I wasn’t
required to leave a review.
I need to read this book. I enjoy the conversational tone books. Thanks for the review!
