How many “manifestos” can one person write?

Wasn’t the Full of Fire book her big manifesto? The sum of her lifetime learnings about life, love, work, and all the things?

Who will buy another self-flattering Phoenix up from the Ashes post-divorce heroes tale? Glennon already did it ten years ago.
That ground has been well trod.

The way she writes about her agents response is so ridiculous. As if whatever overwrought crap she sent was worthy of a pause in the literary universe.

Y'all, she said this book is going to be a departure from her usual stuff. I am thinking she is diving into fiction and will write a (semi) fictional transracial romance. She will literally be the main character in this story.

And hoo boy, who is this editor who fawns over writing from the first draft?

Or maybe it's just going to be a legit autobiography. Which, honestly, I would have more respect for than the "books" she used to produce. I remember picking up either For the Love or Mess and Moxie and thinking, this is literally just a bunch of long social media posts strung together. And someone actually published this. This is ridiculous. I could do this.

So if she writes a legit "here is my story", I'd probably actually read that. And even though Glennon trotted out the "here's how I burned my life down to rebuild it" synopsis already, I feel like there's still a story here for Jen, even if it's just from the biracial couple aspect alone. Tyler did actually praise her up recently in a post, so maybe he's learning to bring something to the table? For Jen's sake, I hope so.

This would be epic. And as time has passed I believe I would take every word he wrote as the truth.

He’s in love, seems to have rebuilt his relationship with most of his kids and living a simple life with a woman who appears kind and genuine. I loved his birthdays picture with him, Ben and Barbie. A simple happy birthday all about Ben. No word of the past. No one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Jen is using divorce and betrayal to bring in the pitty and money. He screwed up, can you imagine what drove him to that.

Yes, if Brandon wrote his side of the story, I would buy and read that first. I'm sure they both share the blame for a failed marriage and I'm not putting either of them up on a pedestal. But based on social media alone, Brandon is winning the long game. He's clearly taken the high road. His posts about the kids are 100% focused on the kids, not on himself. He's working a legit job and it appears to be going well. Tina also appears to be taking the high road as well. I respect both of them for this.

There's no way I'm reading anything she writes that is fiction. I can only imagine how unhinged it would be.

Although I wonder now how much of her earlier autobiographical books were fiction?

Now I am thinking it could be a tell-all. Because Brandon is winning the long game for sure, Jen probably feels compelled to tell her side of the story, of her being left picking up the pieces. Which is not going very well for her mental health. Look at all her bad choices the past three years. Now, she may want the last word, as they were a public couple for a few years there.

I used to love how she wrote about her grandparents. Her grandma was super-dressed up and polished at the nursing home, and her granddad was a no-nonsense type who kept them in line. Too bad he isn't around to kick Caleb's butt.

Maybe you could just read a few of the posts or Google it. This seems to be a recurring question/complaint. In a sentence, she's a former Christian mommy blogger who turned her back on everything she used to stand for and doesn't allow any criticism or even respectful disagreements on her social media pages- hence the nearly 500 pages here of people who are pissed and want to vent.

A Z List influencer/grifter who used to be sort of famous in the Christian Mommy Blogger world.

Now sells sex tips to fraus and shills crap 24/7.

The sort of person who plans to celebrate her 50th with a bunch of paying strangers on a cruise.

This woman….
1) Posts a long word salad about her new book. Includes her agent’s advice.
2) The corn eaters go wild for the agent’s quote.
3) Jen reposts the agent’s quote (with additional lead up drivel), and claims the quote as her own.

How very Rachel Hollis of her…..

This is a TERRIBLE idea -- for her children, her parents, etc. And for her as well -- stop picking at the scab so it can heal. And I have been through infidelity so I know.

She needs an intervention pronto. Time for her to put on her big girl panties and stop acting like a drama queen teen.

💯. Pick a new subject. Keep it to yourself for that matter.
She’s definitely not writing a fiction book, you know she wants to spill the beans on everything according to her perspective. I feel sorry for everyone, Brandon , her kids, her siblings, her parents, and mostly for Tina. She should run. I would hate to grin and bear everything she has said about Brando, and look like an idiot be in the one married to him currently. I wouldn’t be able to sit in the same room with her, even though there’s fixing to be a wedding. I would have Covid that day.

Jen is a beautiful woman (when she doesn’t have over processed hair) what does she see in the grossness of TM? He treats her like crap too. Any and everyone deserves better. Why is she settling for that? The whole thing has to be a sham for publicity because it does NOT make sense.
