Rachel Hollis is an event planner, the founder of a successful media company, and a well known blogger. This is a memoir/motivational book about her life and secrets for success. She writes in a very informal style and pushes herself to tell her whole story, warts and all. Each chapter begins with a "lie" that she used to believe about herself: "I'm not good enough," "loving him is enough for me," "I am defined by my weight" and many others. Then she relates how she began telling herself the lie and how she ultimately taught herself the truth. I checked out this book because it has been one of the top 5 most requested e-book in my library for months. I have a feeling it is making its way around the local women's book clubs, and it is an excellent choice for that. It is very readable, and Hollis has a way of making the reader feel like she is your close personal friend who is cheering for you. I would not really choose the life that she has chosen for herself, but I did feel validated and encouraged by the time I finished the book. I would recommend it to any woman who is facing challenges and needs a hand up. (2018, 220 p.)
