She's going on about how she's cool with whatever anyone thinks of Awoke, but also reveling in the fact that it's opening all these doors for her, like the Grand Ole Opry. Part of me wonders if you had rewound the clock 15-20 years back and told her, "You're going to hit a solid 15-minutes-of-fame stretch, but you'll have to lose your marriage to get the material," would she have still moved forward?

On Amazon, they’ve already dropped the price of the book from $30 to $20.

She also invited many of her sycophants, who have been tongue-bathing her with praise (Erin Moon, Jamie Golden, Kimberly Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, etc.). Her besties posted lots of pics of their trip to Nashville, many pics not with her, because I'm sure she was holed up with Big Sass.

Currently number 22. I would be pretty happy with that.

Eh, gotta disagree with this.

He has mostly held back from commenting on the situation except for the podcast he was interviewed for a few years back and his recent post and Substack articles to clarify his side of the story, while still owning his role in the downfall of their marriage. Seems to me that he would rather lay low and move on from this ignominious chapter while she seeks to monetize it.

Pre sales can make a book look good for a week. Called one week wonders. Then a month later she he book is collapsing on the lists and are being remaindered.

I agree too. I am sure he did not want this all to be revisited again. He’s largely laid low the past few years mostly focused on his residential real estate ventures.

Skimmed the book for a half hour yday at the bookstore. It is mostly what we've been seeing in her sm and blog posts. Not much mention of Tyler. A little all over the place, but not as scattered as Glennon's stuff can be. A much more muted tone than FFF, as to be expected. A touch of humility over not even trying to help Brandon in his midlife spiraling. A few anecdotes about her family. Apparently Amy saged her house and said prayers throughout the house to cleanse it and that's why Jen now stays.
Honestly, it fell kind of flat for me. I am happy she is finding happiness after being suckerpunched by life, but it still feels like she doesn't have much peace.
The most interesting part of her story was when she had to find her way out of the financial ignorance she had let settle in her life.
