[quote=Anonymous]I think I'm about halfway through the book, maybe a little more.

I'm listening to it not reading it. I think I fell asleep for a minute while getting a pedicure but I think I still get the gist of everything.

It is mildly interesting but not riveting. If I weren't a JH follower, I don't think it would be interesting at all. It's typical OTT Jen style, of course. She strikes me as someone who hasn't grown much emotionally past young adulthood, no matter how much she says otherwise.

There is almost zero tea on her marriage and really nothing we don't already know. It is a lot of snippets about her childhood and her adult friendships and a lot of stuff about being raised in a conservative church.

The chapters are very short and there's no linear layout at all. It jumps around which is jarring. There's not much tying one chapter to the next. I dislike the way it is laid out and if I weren't somewhat familiar with her already I probably would have given up on it out of confusion.

Aside from a mention of a creepy teacher, which I wish she'd have actually expanded on, it's mostly church hurt and it honestly comes off as a little ridiculous to be so impacted by this today. There was a chapter on how much Remy bugs her, which was without much context. I think she might have been trying to allude to Remy being on the spectrum without actually saying it but she's not clever enough with words - or just covering her butt - to really go there. I don't imagine Remy would have enjoyed reading that.
