lighthearted slow-paced

Thank you to Libro.FM for the free audio copy of this.

I picked this up on a complete whim and because the audiobook was very short. It was narrated by Jinger herself and this book was definitely very religious…I’m not sure what I expected out of this book but it felt very repetitive which I found to be a bit annoying.

The story includes anecdotes from Jinger’s personal experiences as a people pleaser and trying to keep the peace, which is something that I can relate to myself to a certain extent. However, I don’t think I really got anything useful out of this book and there were so many bible verses in this I got lost in what she was trying to say. 

I think I mostly picked thus story up because I’m fascinated by religious cults and I have seen a documentary about the IBLP community and the harmful practices it preaches. As someone who has seen firsthand the craziness that happened with the Duggar family a few years ago, I think I read this more out of morbid curiosity than anything else. It was like watching a car accident happen but not being able to stop it or look away, and I thought hearing about Jinger’s perspective would be different than simply seeing the news headlines about this family.
