    • I’m Not Good Enough
    • I’m Better Than You
    • Loving Him Is Enough for Me
    • And more

      I really enjoyed this book. The chapters about being a mom were really helpful. She makes a lot of great points. Looking forward to reading Girl, Stop Apologizing next.
    • 4/5
      Fun, inspiring self-help read with good advice. Short and easy to complete.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. I listened to audio which is a great way to experience it as the author is the narrator. There were some points given that you can read in any supportive, self-help book, but I found Rachel's story to be honest and forthcoming. Well done.
    • 1/5
      Author is full of herself and has too much to say about -what amounts to be- nothing.

      This book is amazing! Hands down one of the most inspirational females I’ve come across. Get ready for a read that will get all pumped up to be the best version of you.

      I loved it it is a worth reading book!
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book. It gave solid advice without being preachy. Which is important to me in self help books. I do not like being told there is only one way and all else is a fatal error. It accepted that everyone is different and walking their own path. It left me with the helpful reminder that we are more alike than we are not and there is a community of women out there sharing a similar path.
    • 4/5
      Interesting Writing Style

      I’d read a lot of recommendations for this book and I liked its honest writing style. She shared some solid, if common sense, advice that bears repeating.

      Written from a white rich privilege woman’s perspective. I couldn’t get past the first two chapters because I can’t relate to this woman at all. I grew up poor and suffered emotional and physical abuse. My mom died at a young age and I had to fend for myself with my alcoholic father. This lady was just not relatable for me. Sorry.

      I think she meant well, But as a straight white woman from an upper middle class background she doesn't really acknowledge the privilege that she gets. That is not to disregard her struggles, I just expected more from a book in 2018. I would have given it 3 stars had it not been her relationship with her husband which scared me. How can he be your best friend of 5/10years and you can't talk about sex with him....

      In a word, drivel.

      The most mind-numbing book I’ve read in recent memory. The way she describes her relationship with her husband is frightening. Not a good role model for any human trying to be in a healthy intimate relationship.

      Rachel is inspiring and has unraveled the deepest “ lies” which we as women tell ourselves daily and hence we commit negative self talk for years and decades. Thanks so much for this work of Art and Love.
    • 2/5
      It’s got some inspirational stuff in there but literally would never know she’s a Christian, all her verses and ideas of what a Christian is super unbiblical and twisted. She hardly revolves her life around God. It’s all revolves around her. The amount of times she says “I” is kind of ridiculous honestly. I would take this book out of the Christian section. She’s lukewarm and progressive. “All religions are fine don’t judge just love!” And “Jesus embraced chaos”

      I don’t care if she’s “over privileged” or “fat shames” or any of that woke nonsense, (I actually love when she talked about losing weight and being healthy) the book is just unbiblical, and I don’t believe her relationship with God is as strong as it should be.
    • 1/5
      I think the most frustrating part of this book is to see the way it’s author has acted as though her life philosophy will lead to a great life but by following it herself she seems pretty miserable.

      I’ve always thought a mechanic should have a car that runs great and a landscaper should have a house with a nice landscape. It would seem with somebody who gives advice about marriage and family should have a marriage and family that are in tact.

      Not trying to be a troll but obviously loving yourself and not apologizing and washing your face is a really good way to destroy your marriage.

      I initially heard about Rachel on Jen Hatmaker's podcast. As she shared the premise of her book, I was captivated and knew it was one I needed to immediately order. Guys, I loved this book. Each chapter focuses on one lie that she (and we) told herself. She walks the reader through her own experience in battling that particular lie and shares how she eventually worked through it. This is a fabulous book that SO MANY women can relate to, and Rachel shares in such a down-to-earth way. One of the best books of the year thus far.

      Two reads completed, several passages highlighted, and a whole new perspective on life and the pursuit of happiness. :)

      Rachel Hollis has given us a new book! It's not fiction, it's not a cookbook, it's Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies about Who You Are so You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be. Part self help, part honest, heartbreaking non-fiction, Girl, Wash Your Face was the book I didn't know I needed. Broken into chapters by lie, yes as in the lies we believe in about ourselves, Rachel Hollis tackles the struggles women face daily and the steps we can take to make a positive, lasting difference. Rachel's personal stories are sometimes tough to read, but always relatable and her willingness to share her truths was incredibly impactful for me. The things she struggled and/or struggles with are the same things I struggle with. Her solutions? Easy to follow, though the dedication and the creation of the habit relies on your strength, will, and determination. It inspired me, Rachel's voice and words run through my head now throughout the day, and it taught me the ability to forgive myself each time I fail and believe the lies I shouldn't.

      ❝Recognizing the lies we've come to accept about ourselves is the key to growing into a better version of ourselves.❞

      Though I cried, a lot, Girl, Wash Your Face is a humorous, powerful read that is easy to follow and inspiring. The solutions Rachel gives us are every day solutions, things that anyone can implement into their daily life whether through physical action or personal thought. She gives us the honest, harsh reality, but also gives us the chance to forgive ourselves, to understand others, and to create a healthy path towards healing and positivity. I loved the overarching message of self worth, power, and strength. I finished the last page with a renewed vigor for life and a new method of self-love. I highly recommend that everyone picks up a copy of Girl, Wash Your Face, whether you think you believe any lies or not. It's a book that women need and a book I'll be returning to repeatedly.
      In fact, I'm off to read it again before I'm off to RISE, Rachel's women's conference!
