Read it if any of the following applies to you, and you can’t find your peace:

you’re feeling lost, hopeless, not good enough, deserving but unlucky, regretful, guilty, ashamed, disempowered, confused, heartbroken, lonely, isolated, alone, misunderstood, underachieving. 

Read if you are a partner, wife, husband, mother, father, boyfriend, girlfriend, daughter, son, child, friend, fuck buddy, teacher, student.

Read it if you don’t have anyone in your life who can love you and know you but still tell it to your straight. 

You will find something here for you, so sift through and find it.

I think I desperately needed to hear this:

”There is nothing more boring and fruitless than a woman lamenting the fact that her stomach is round.”

Moderate: Child death, Drug abuse, Physical abuse, Self harm, Emotional abuse, Injury/Injury detail, Miscarriage, Abandonment, Addiction, Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Fire/Fire injury, and Rape

I definitely missed some trigger warnings but there were so many I can’t remember them. If I had known about them, I wouldn’t have read the book. It’s so heavy. Despite that, I know that it helped me a little bit, deal with some of the things that have happened to me.

I've read this book countless times now and it is genuinely my favourite book. I gain so much from it every time I read it and something different at each stage of my life. She's so wise and covers so much. If you've had a bit of a tough life you'll find comfort in here.

Every bit of brutal honesty a person needs in this lifetime delivered in a digestible way. Full of glimpses into lives so unique yet at the care contain the very issues we are facing in our own. This is advice and reminders to turn to for your lifetime and to help you feel just a little less alone.
