Welcome to Litsy!

A little late but I did it! #redbook #bibliophile

This is a repackaging of good advice to control what you can control. It‘s a good recentering, though I‘d like a little more information about parenting and this theory. The best part I thought was the section of adult friendships: why it‘s hard, what to do and what it takes to meet new friends and preserve old friendships. Overall, good reminder of how to not get engaged in the drama.

I think if I‘d read this in my 30s it would have had more of an impact on me. I‘m in my 50s now (like the author) and I kind of think people in their 50s naturally get to the ‘Let Them‘ phase. And it‘s great! Luckily I‘m one of those people who didn‘t really need this advice….I‘m living it already. Hooray to getting older! Letting things go can be very rewarding and cathartic. If you‘re not there yet it is truly something to look forward to!

Struggling with how to rate this book. It's centered around a breakup, told 90% from the male perspective and his rollercoaster journey of how he dealt w/it. The writing was great. The subject was largely uninteresting to me personally. I have read multiple books from the female perspective of a breakup, so it was nice to have this out there choosing to tell the story in a different way-I don't think most guys are as emotionally 'woke' as him🤷‍♀️

Inspiring

Happy Easter dear Littens
And with part of a #colourstack challenge I assembled

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

A complete 180 from the first book I read today.
This tore out my heart and shredded it! I cried so hard and so much. Just when I thought it couldn‘t get worse, it did. This poor girl went through SO much. I just wanted to hug her and hug Maggie. So much on the shoulders of a 14 year old girl. I‘m so glad she got out, and I really hope she‘s happy and healthy now.
