has anyone read this yet? it came out today. i don't want to order it unless someone says it's good and I don't trust the reviews on amazon.

I just downloaded it onto my kindle. I'm not sure when I'll start reading it. I'll post when I do!

I had pre-ordered it and it appeared on my kindle yesterday. I think I read on here somewhere that the author and her husband have, prior to publication of this book, decided to divorce. I intend to read it at some point anyway.

I started the book yesterday. I love it so far. I couldn't put it down....stayed up late reading. I love how honest she is with her story.

I just finished it. Amazing! So much to think about.😄 I kept pausing to relate to me and my life and my marriage. I learned from this book. I definitely recommend it.

Oh I can only read bits and pieces. so triggery. she struggles with betraying herself by staying. I open it, read a paragraph, and then shut the book.

I'm finding it to be wonderful. Her journey to heal, with or without the marriage was just inspiring.

I'm starting Chapter 3 and have already highlighted several passages on my kindle. I haven't even read to the infidelity part yet! The pain some of us feel growing up, starting at about age 10 or even 11, may be part of how I got to this place, a (partly) broken woman in a M with a (partly) broken man. I think the author describes some of that pain very well.

I finished it and have a few pages of highlighted passages where I think she captures inner thoughts and feelings that I have had and felt, but couldn't put into words or express safely out loud.

I gave it 4 out of 5 stars, though, because near the end it seemed a bit too heavily philosophical and repetitive. I pushed myself to finish before the library took it back.

At least I did finish it. Since dday it has been very hard to finish anything very quickly.

An amazing memoir! I thought to myself after finishing it: "If she can rise up after all of that!!! I've got this too"

I started reading it yesterday and finished it tonight. I found it to be incredibly confronting. Most of the first chapter I could have written myself. I totally related to Glennon's childhood and even to parts of her marriage.

I started crying three times while reading. I have an IC appointment tomorrow and am taking the book with me.

I'm trying hard to R with my WH but many things keep stopping me from putting my heart and soul on the line. Glennon's story gave me hooe and made me feel confident that I will make whatever decision is right for me.

I really recommend reading this book :)

ugh. she just revealed she's in another relationship already. I can't help think that was the reason behind her breakup of her marriage as it already have been started. maybe I'm being too cynical.

i would never introduce my kids to my next partner unless I was almost ready to marry. i'm now under the impression that she just does whatever she wants and justifies it by the importance of the feel good vibe. just a bad taste in my mouth right now.

Yeah, I felt the same way about the announcement yesterday. Moving on already??

Like so many, she is probably afraid to be alone. It's a shame. She is painting a rosy picture of her ex husband's (STBX?) reaction and her kids. I question how much of that is real.

There are really no ill feelings? None at all? Not buying it.

separated = still married. ugh. can't do the respect thing anymore with her then.

I have been hesitant to read this book, because they end up D'ing anyway. I feel maybe I'm not ready to read that they did all the "right work" and ended up D'd, the thought gives me anxiety.

Is anyone in active and decent R, and liking this book?

I liked it but I read it knowing it would trigger the heck out of me. Much of it resonated with me and I appreciated her honesty. I felt...validated? There were sections that were hard to read.

When she announced the new relationship so soon...I was disappointed. I feel like this all must be very hard for the kids. It's like she is following good feelings and not taking a breath, though I realize she didn't start the book until maybe two years after dday.

Still, I appreciated the message and what she learned.

This is not a book about how to reconcile after infidelity. The author makes it very clear that she is neither pro-R or pro-D. It's really about overcoming your inner demons (she battled alcohol addiction), learning to trust oneself and listening to your inner voice. Ultimately, it's about self-love.

Honestly, it's a great read.

i just feel that she's been too indulgent, finding her own happy.

she started a relationship with another person, while still married, and introduced that person to the kids. i just can't get behind that. until im ready/close to marrying someone, my kids will never meet the person i date after my marriage to their father ended. it's the rebound person and I can't think that this one will last.

give it time, let the kids get used to the fact that their parents are divorcing, then give more time. she jumped into this way too fast and it's all to follow her own truth.

I think separated means different things to people. Some states allow a divorce in weeks, some take years. I do think introductions to kids should wait, but certainly not right before you get married. Family dynamics is pretty much the number one cause of second marriages ending, you need to work on that before you get married. I waited a year for my kids for my fiance and it seems to have worked out well.

Anyway, her announcement did trouble me a bit. Has she been struggling with her sexual orientation for years, whole life? And if so, if she wasn't honest about that struggle, why should I believe her other struggles.

I did get to see her talk in person at my church last year, it really moved me and my friends and I walked away with some powerful quotes. Not sure what I feel right now....
