This book is a slapdash collection of masterbatory journal entries written by a woman who clearly thinks she has found the secrets to life. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, no theme, a lot of sanctimonious reminders of being a Good Person TM (obviously, because why would you become a philanthropist and then continually remind people of that?), and a general "I'm better than all of *gestures vaguely* this" feeling. There are a handful of good short stories but there rest, yikes, what a slog. By the end I was purely hate reading because I refuse to DNF this book, I refuse to let it beat me.

Here are my thoughts.
1. The cover is beautiful.
2. I loved the chapter about her daughter starting soccer.
3. The term bonus mom is so cute.

I had some mixed feelings about this book.
I found that there were some very relatable topics that I could understand and agree with, but I thought it was a bit elitist at times, I just felt like sometimes her privilege wasn't acknowledge.
Touching on important topics such as addiction, sexual orientation, relationships and feminism... an overall a very introspective journey, even concerning the topics I didn't completely agree with.

Literally all the stars. So impactful, though I picked it up at the perfect point.

Nothing about this book felt authentic. Except maybe where her ex-husband admits infidelity and she says something about it ruining her career, since her previous books are about how awesome her life is because of her traditional family and Christian values. Once everything changes, she pats herself on the back for 300 pages about how wild she is. There was nothing untamed about this book.
If her therapists actually said some of that stuff, they should have their licenses revoked.
She clearly has a favorite kid, and she attributes some pretty deep thoughts to a preteen. None of the “conversations” seemed realistic. The only time she spoke about her youngest daughter was when she used it as a carrier to prove how awesome her middle daughter is, so I hope she never reads this book. Mostly it just made me sad for that kid.
