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.
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.
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.
Absolutely wonderful. This book put things in a perspective I never thought was possible. It opened my eyes on some things and I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. I know that probably won’t make sense to many/most people, but if you know, you know.
This is the perfect book for the kid just going out on his or her own for the first time. Great advice on so many topics.
This amazing work by Jessica Wallin Bowmans is raw, honest and very funny. I couldn’t put it down until the end and cried when I was finished. Do yourself a favor and get this book! You won’t regret it.
Wow! Sooo inspiring. A great read. I’m sure I will read it again, which is something I seldom do. (Read a book a second time) it was powerful, very thought provoking. And made me laugh. Sooo good, I read it and finished it in one sitting. I’m excited to read other books by this author.
This book was FULL of insights. I loved the LESSONS & BLESSINGS section at the end of each chapter to highlight and summarize the key lessons. The entire book was FILLED with actionable items.
This book really hit home for me and put so many things in perspective. I have always been a people pleaser. It has inspired me and encouraged me that I am living my best life now :) I would recommended this book to everyone!
What an empowering book. I wish I had this book in my teens and early adulthood. I was always a pleaser. It took me to my 50s to finally stand up for my self with my family and it was liberating. This book is a read that everyone needs to read. I highly recommend it.
I bought this book for a student/friend that was graduating. But once I got it, I read it! This book is filled with many practical and pro tips for a new young adult, or maybe a newly divorced person as well. The author covers everything from finding a job, to managing money with sub topics like making a budget, opening a bank account, smart usage of credit cards, etc.
She also covers important topics like cooking and cleaning tips, self-care, how to be a good roommate, etc.
I did finally give this book to the person I bought it for, and it was a hit!
