There is way too much religion, which I have no problem with, I'm spiritual, although I don't prey to a God, but it's just not something I enjoy in my non-fiction readings.
Moreover, as a black (half-white, but it doesn't matter when all that people see is my blackness) European woman, my experience feels very far from the author's. She has so many privileges I have a hard time connecting.
Finally, I don't have kids yet, and marriage is an institution I believe is a commercial scheme, a way to control women inherited from archaic traditions and/or a good fiscal solution or a solution when you want to be united with the person you want to build your life with, but don't live in the same country!
The only reason I gave it a 3-star review instead of 2, is because I love Glennon Doyle as a person and her message is inherently bringing more good into the World and hope to women.
