When I was going through my divorce someone gave me Untamed by Glennon Doyle. That book found me at exactly the right moment in my life. Changed everything about how I view myself and what I'm capable of.

I bought a copy of Love Warrior from the discount bin without really knowing what it was about, and it sat unread on my shelf for a long while. One day in 2020 I was looking for something to read next when I felt this intuitive nudge towards Love Warrior. I picked it up and was utterly blown away. I'd never read anything so raw and emotional and honest like that before. It felt like the bravest piece of writing I'd ever encountered, and it made me feel brave and capable too. Her words were there exactly when I needed them the most, and they helped me through my own devastating breakup. I treasure Love Warrior and Untamed for much the same reasons you do ❤️
