Thank you B&H Publishing for providing this book for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.

Remember my reading goal for the year? I've been super slow at reading this year but I'm still excited to read my 36 books this year. A couple weeks ago I finished this book while on a quick trip to Vegas.

I've never read any of Annie F. Downs books but I wanted excited to get this book in the mail and start reading and now I want to read all her books. This book goes through her journey of her life after she finished her book 'Let's All Be Brave" and the "break down" as she calls it that she had after writing that book.

I really loved her introspective thoughts on herself and her life during that season. She talks about how she started going to counseling and explores themes in her life like; why does she want to quit or run away when things get hard?

This season forced her to "look for the lovely" in her life. Or look for the good. This theme really resonates with me since the theme of my blog here is all about celebrating the everyday. And finding something in your daily life worth celebrating. Life is made up of lots of tiny little moments that matter.

Look for them. Cherish them.

Her writing speaks to my soul, she's witty and is full of great stories to tell. But it's her authenticity in her writing and her honesty that pulls you in and makes you want to be her best friend. She's got a whole lot of truth and a big dose of wisdom packed in these pages.
