The messaging itself did get a bit repetitive, which I think comes from Glennon's motivational background; it felt like a bunch of mini-presentations about the same theme. Which was fine, just did get a bit repetitive near the end. Sometimes the messaging came across as "guru-ish" which put me off a bit. The humor was a little bit millennial to me but whatever.
I think this has a lot of useful messaging for women of any age, especially women dealing with life changes or struggling to come to terms with their true selves. Glennon touches on a lot of different topics with the running theme of accepting and unleashing your true self, outside of the constraints and boxes imposed upon us by society, religion, family, tradition, etc. Although Glennon is an activist, the memoir does skew toward the experience of a white woman (obviously) which may not be relatable to non-white women. I think it would resonate really well with white women struggling with holding their identity alongside their Christian faith.
