Untamed by Glennon Doyle
2.0

I was really looking forward to Untamed because I heard such amazing things about it, and about Glennon Doyle, but I was a bit disappointed. It was refreshing to hear a story about a gay woman from a generation before me and her journey finding herself and it definitely succeeded in sharing the trials and tribulations of life. However, I think I was put off by just how religious it/she is. I obviously know faith is a huge part of Glennon's story and self exploration, but religion often makes me deeply uncomfortable and I couldn't put it aside. Also, at the risk of belittling her experiences, I'm also a bit over gay, but otherwise extremely privileged white women sharing their stories in a way that suggests they think their life is so incredibly hard.
