I loved this book! This is my second one by Abby and I loved getting to know more about her and her life.

I wanted to like it, and I just didn't. I've never seen an author include so much of the text of previous emails they had written. Abby is many things, but not a writer. I know she has grown a lot as a person in recent years, so I wonder if she would narrate some of these stories differently now.

Either I’m not into memoirs or I just need to read different ones. I picked this one up wanting to read about Abby’s soccer journey, and maybe her experiences as a queer woman. But what I got was the story of her addictions in excruciating detail. It almost got repetitive after a while, listening to her blow up her life. I’m glad she’s doing ok though.

Solid read for anyone who can relate to tying your worth to a system / external identity and the mental impact of it! Love the vulnerability here

Let me just say that Abby Wambach is effing amazing.
For someone who has built her image up as a "tough girl", the admissions here in this book come across as raw and deeply moving. In other memoirs, authors often go through every minute detail of their pain and anguish, this is not this book. However, Abby's simple recognition of her issues and how they affect her relationships, career, and self-image, are more than enough to inspire.
Many people suggest that her words of encouragement and faith are just fluff, but one look at her today proves that she lives by what she professes in this book. From the two years that this book has been published, shes continued on the path of being an advocate for women's rights in the workplace, and has married fellow author [a:Glennon Doyle|17099759|Glennon Doyle|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1524753478p2/17099759.jpg] (and they have such a supportive, authentic relationship and family!!!). Abby Wambach has no doubt become one of my favorite role models, and I cant wait to see what comes next!
...Hopefully a co-authored book with Glennon please and thank you! :)
