My mother bought this book for me at a time when life was not so great. I didn't immediately read it because she has a tendency to buy me books that are geared to "help" or "preach" to me.

I was given this book as a Secret Santa gift at work and I am 99% sure it was given to me just because of the title. I don't think the person who gave it to me realized there was a Christian author or that I could/would actually apply Karen's advice to my life.

Light book. Here writing was not as funny as her title. An o.k. book. I will try to read another of her books and see if maybe I just needed a box of chocolates to get inspired!

How could I resist?

A lot of good thoughts and analogies, but could have been a little more cohesive.

This was a fun read. The author is hillarious and has some fun little stories and ideas about the importance of good friends, simplifying your life, having dreams, setting limits, caring for your body and soul, etc., etc.
