Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis

 This is the follow-up to her other book. It's very similar as her first. Upbeat, lively, supposedly honest and open, and happy, happy, happy. I actually couldn't bear to finish it. Again, too superficial, too lacking in serious self-reflection, and too sugary and upbeat to be really real. 

And then--because she refers to her business so often, I thought I should just look online and see what that looks like. And lo and behold, she got divorced last summer! WHAT?! She's built this huge brand on her happy marriage and family life, and she's getting divorced? Poor girl--it must be pretty bad to go this route given how her business is built on this image she created. Yikes. Now I just feel sorry for her. 

When I get back to Rapid City, it will be interesting to get Rachel Hinkson's view of all of this. I know she wanted to read/discuss her other book, but does that mean she bought in to the whole milieu? What does she think now? That will be an interesting chat!
