Untamed
By Glennon Doyle
This week's book is one of those books that has constant buzz around it. I ordered it as an add-on for my Book of the Month order last month and then ended up listening to it while reading too, because the author read it for the audio book. I went into reading/listening to it not having read Doyle's other books or knowing much about her, other than she married a famous female soccer player a while back and that shocked a lot of people.
The book is a collection of four essays that cover different topics of essentially becoming a better you. It's probably really great for people that read the book off and on over a long period of time. I read a few books at a time, and this isn't really my reading style. That being said, I just don't think this was written for where I am in my life. The author had been cheated on by her husband and really never came to terms that she has been a lesbian or bisexual her whole life. I on the other hand am insanely happily married to my husband of ten years this week, and confident in my sexuality. I haven’t been through the same struggles that the author has experienced, so I had trouble relating to the author as a result.
I know this book is amazing for some women, it's their Bible of self help, it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think I would still recommend the book if you are looking for a book of self discovering.
