Wish it was longer!

this was all about these two women without much advice for people outside of this one specific relationship. it honestly didn't even seem like ann and aminatou liked each other very much, if I'm being honest, when they were overanalyzing and criticizing each other's actions. I was hoping for something a little more universal. 

The writing is phenomenal but the plot crawls at a snail's pace and the book is so long. 

I’ve never felt more seen by a book. 10/10 and I can’t wait to see what Emba does next. 

This was the perfect read for Lent. The writing was truly sincere and the author's love for other people shone through the book. I really appreciated the reflection questions at the end of every chapter and suggestions for how to live the Beatitude values. The author combines his experience as a faith leader with Scirpture and practical advice about how to embody Beatitude values. I also truly appreciated how this book avoided political, black and white thinking or an us vs them mentality. This Lent season has been particularly hard for me and this book really resonated with me because of it. I would definitely recommend this to any Christian looking for a practical way to deepen their faith and live their values. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
