Praise

Together, the three books form a collection centered on real-life struggles and personal growth. Rather than approaching these topics from a purely academic perspective, Bowman’s writing draws heavily from lived experience. The books are designed to feel less like reading a textbook and more like having an honest conversation with a friend who has been through similar experiences.

– Woman's Week

I laughed, I cried, and I felt very nostalgic throughout. Jessica has given us a piece of her soul in this memoir. I don't think there is any higher praise for a book than that. She opened her heart and told us all the good, the bad, and the ugly bits of life. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in the future.

– Rachel, In Case I Die

Another beautiful book Jessica! I think it will open people’s minds and let them realize they too need to start saying no and living for their own happiness. I’ve been on that journey myself for the last year and it has been a breath of fresh air and an emotional release.
