APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
How’s this for self-examination: “I wasn’t crazy. I was a goddamn cheetah.” That’s blogger and motivational speaker Glennon Doyle, author of the Oprah-endorsed Love Warrior, near the start of this riveting memoir. Doyle’s path to cheetah-hood was anything but easy. With fearless candour, she describes how she overcame a once-happy marriage torpedoed by multiple infidelities, eating disorders and substance abuse. Her memoir also chronicles her gradual acceptance of her attraction to her now-wife, US soccer star Abby Wambach. Doyle’s unadorned, diarylike writing style places us right next to her as she bumps along this roller-coaster ride. Her solution to overcoming all of her obstacles? She stopped letting others (including her church) determine how she lived her life—a simple but challenging philosophy that reverberates throughout Untamed. More than just a revealing memoir, it’s an inspiring read that made us want to tap into our own feral state of mind.

Incredible
This book really hits home with finding your way as a woman and living an authentic life. Empowering and easy to read.
Untamed
I honestly have no idea what the fuss is all about for this book. This is the most basic book I have read in years. It’s corny and lacks depth. It’s just someone journaling their feelings about their life and blaming society for their poor choices. So terrible. The one star I gave was for the chapter on accessing God or ones intuition, but even that was so basic. It’s like this was written for a 12 year old...seriously. It really shows what our society has become when this is on a bestsellers list. So disappointing
A true storyteller
Loved every bit of it
