“Katie Savage is smart, funny, and a little bit sassy. She writes with a feminine voice…vibrant, earthy, and honest enough to appeal to both genders. When I read her work I find myself hoping that if I don’t take myself too seriously, maybe even I can see God. ”
" I expected to love this book, but I felt a bit lost in the stories at times. They seemed to hide rather than illustrate the reflections. "
" I like this book because I agreed with her on a lot of things and she seems like a fun person, but I wish there was more of a story line and consistent narrative. Still a good read. "
