what you want to say & need to hear submitted by SMKuntz on June 27, 2016, 7:44pm Great book for women of all ages and stages of life, but really speaks to parents, women over 30, and Christian women. It gives a voice to the things you're thinking (Leggings aren't pants. Marriage and parenting are hard. How do I adult again?) and asks questions you might be afraid to ask (Are leggings pants? Why are people so difficult? Is it okay to say "no"?, Is eating considered ministry? Is my family normal?!). Jen Hatmaker's kitchen table conversation style of writing is easily accessible, endearing, familiar, and hard to put down. You'll quickly identify yourself (and your people!) within the pages of this book and walk away with a team cheering you on.

Authentic! submitted by krathje on July 27, 2016, 5:24pm This is my second Jen Hatmaker book. I also enjoyed 7. Her style is disarmingly honest and vulnerable. It;s s breath of fresh air, not overly religious, but simply full of grace.

wonderful submitted by smgop on August 7, 2016, 8:00pm Easy-read, humorous, touches the heart. Laughed out loud quite a bit while reading!
