Surprisingly not bad. She’s good at narrating her own book as well, unlike some other authors that sound extremely wooden recounting their own story.

She chokes up at hard parts in her life and laughs pretty often, too; so it’s very easy to connect with what she’s saying. It ends up being pretty candid and relatable (most of the time). It’s pretty steeped in Christian values but doesn’t sound preachy to me, just something important to her and how she got through the day as a pastor’s daughter. And honestly, as someone who was bullied about being abused, I’d say she’s earned looking for whatever gets her through the day.

She bookends the book with talking about her alcoholism and it’s easy to feel for her. I will say that the critical reflection of her life feels a bit stilted at times though, kind of like a half hearted apology. Everything else is pretty on point though. Easy to see why it’s a best seller.
