rachelelizabeth 's review for:
Girl, Wash Your Face
by Rachel Hollis
I read and review books on my book blog, Rachel's Reading. For more like this, please come check it out!
I had heard about this book from quite a few people and was even more interested when I started doing Rachel Hollis's #last90days challenge. I fully admit that I fell down the Rachel Hollis rabbit hole, and was really excited to get my hands on this book. Every chapter in this book starts with a lie that Rachel believed, and then how she's dispelled that lie in her life. It's personal, and she shares some very personal stories but also relatable to so many people.
This book was extremely underwhelming to me, and I found her much more relatable in the lives she does every weekday on her Facebook page. As I've said in other personal development books, every PD book isn't for everyone, it never will be and that's okay. Hollis has received a lot of controversies lately because her book comes from a place of privilege. It absolutely does, but does that mean that her truths aren't her truths, or the truths of so many women? No, not at all. No PD book should work for everyone, we're all different people and see things differently. A lot of this book felt like platitudes, which I don't do well with, but I've found a lot of benefit from things she talks about in her lives. I was sad that this book didn't meet my standards but so glad I read it.
