This is quite am uplifting self help book giving lots of ideas to empower yourself including giving ourselves permission to be selfish, something women often forget to do. There's some great quotes and I liked the myth busting of certain rules and ideas we've been socially programmed to believe. Really enjoyed it and would recommend

This book was received as an ARC from Quarto Group - Rock Point in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I have nothing negative to say about this book. The structure was creative brilliance at its finest. The color scheme and layout of each page was magical. Finally, the love notes to self were like none other I have ever read and I have read a lot of self-help books. Reading this book did not feel like reading a book. Reading felt like talking and Sarah is your best friend lifting your spirits after a bad situation or after loss. Before reading this book I was somewhat familiar with Sarah's GirlTalk movement and now after reading this book I am going to learn more about it and pay it forward the best I can. This book definitely belongs not only in our collection at the library but in my personal collection as well.

We will consider adding this title to our Self-Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. The formatting was really appealing and I love how it was broken down into sections with myths, quotes, writing prompts and chapter recaps. It was such a good reminder on how to love yourself and the importance of loving yourself. It's so easy to be kind and forgiving to others but being hard on yourself. I think my favorite chapter was Made for Self-Care. I feel like at different parts of your life different chapters will resonate with you. I would love to get a physical copy of this book to reference back to or to gift to someone!

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group, Sarah Pendrick, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review an ARC for this lovely book.

Rating: 3.5

"If something is costing you your happiness, it's too expensive. Invest in something else."

The right book at the right time. I think it's a really good read if you are feeling in need of a self love boost.

I loved the layout and how the book is structured: this is definitely one of those books I would want to buy and hold in my hands, instead of reading it through a screen.
I loved how the chapters are well-structured, all the tips and insights followed by "homework" you can use to put the advises into practice.

I'm really glad I read it. Overall recommended.

"Love yourself through it all and keep falling in love with all parts of you."

Il libro giusto al momento giusto. Penso sia una lettura perfetta se state facendo un po' fatica e avete bisogno di una spinta positiva.

Mi è piaciuto un sacco come il libro è strutturato. E' decisamente uno di quelli che vorrei comprare cartaceo per poterlo sfogliare, invece di leggerlo sul kindle.
I capitoli sono ben strutturati, con consigli seguiti da "compiti a casa", istruzioni che si possono seguire per mettere in pratica quello che stiamo leggendo.

Sono davvero contenta di averlo letto. Consigliato.

I LOVED this book. The format is creative brilliance at its finest. The author Sarah Pendrick walks you through living an incredible life as if she's right there with you talking to you like she's your best friend. Reading it created a sense of empowerment. This book belongs in the top self love and transformation libraries. You can read it all the way through and keep coming back to it for reminders and messages daily. The color scheme and layout of each page was magic. Finally, the practical two minutes a day advice and prompts for self love were like none other I have ever read and I have read a lot of self-help books. Reading this book did not feel like reading a book, it was as if Sarah was on the journey with me. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I love the title of this book: Beautifully Brave. There is just some kind of touchable power to that name. It has not always been a part of my life going forward to make myself happy when have always been told to put others before myself. That got me often forgotten in the shuffle of this thing we call life. This book and its exercises and affirmations showed me that it is okay for me to put me first. That I am not doing anything wrong that I am making myself healthier. It helped me look deep inside of myself and start to heal the wounds that I have been holding on too since I did not know any better that I was only hurting myself and not them. I want to be beautifully brave both inside and out. This is helping me get there.

This book is a breath of fresh air and the love poured onto each page is so there. I loved the design, the beautiful words, the journal prompts and all the inspiration in Sarah Pendrick’s words. Truly there is no better time to grab a book like this if you’re ready to up your confidence and truly love yourself at your core, breaking away from that habit so many of us have to feel lovable through someone else’s validation. Thank you for this beautiful book. I’ll keep it on my coffee table now and always.

I have started this book and not finished yet but just in the time I have read it, I have loved how it makes you think about what you want yourself to be like a person and do homework to make yourself feel better about yourself. It’s fun not boring at all. As I continue reading, I will continue to add to my review!

One of my fav personal development books of 2022! My favorite part is how the author gives us lists and tangible tips to use in our every day life! I would recommend this book to everyone! Love love love!

[Melissa Spratt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful affirmations, reflections, prompts & tips. The book itself is also aesthetically gorgeous. Some of the concepts were not new to me as I’ve been doing inner work for some time now. But positive book overall 💖
