'The Universe has your Back' came to me at a time of severe illness and paralyzing uncertainty. This one comes to me when I am 27 years young and I am finally trying to face my fear of driving. So many encouraging words and ideas. This book has definitely changed my mindset. I was hoping for more written exercises, but taking note of key ideas will do. ...more

Im glad to see that the tarot is no longer exclusively linked to 'witchcraft' and the occult. It's a psychological tool that can help you learn more about yourself and create your best life within reason. Great beginner's guide. Great ideas on how to spark your intuition and use tarot for guidance, healing, and personal growth....more

I enjoyed this book because the twists and turns were believable and never over the top. Its disturbing when you think of how many undiagnosed psychopaths are walking among us and how easy it is to get caught in one's sadistic trap....more

It was hyped for being somewhat taboo, because of the love interest between a younger woman and an older man, but the age difference didn't freak me out, because it was totally legal. The conflict in the book is more of a moral dilemma, considering this young woman is going after her ex-boyfriend's 38 year-old father. There were definitely some cringey moments in this book and some questionable behavior, but love and relationships are not perfect. This was a slow burning romance and I was totally there for the story. But those who have read it might agree that the love scene (or should I say, "self-love" scene) involving a desk 😳... was a bit over the top and did not need to go on for half a chapter 😂. I'll leave it at that....more

This is a 'first love gone wrong' meets 'second chance romance' novel. Loved these down to earth characters. Tracey Graves has a real talent for unraveling a story at just the right pace. Would highly recommend for summer reading....more

This isn't the typical book written by a woman about women that leads you down the crazy-hole of modern day "feminism" that is more anti-woman than evThis isn't the typical book written by a woman about women that leads you down the crazy-hole of modern day "feminism" that is more anti-woman than ever (pink p*ssy hat wearing, abortion promoting idiotsy and outrage are not included in this book). This is a book written for young girls and women everywhere who have ever struggled with authenticity. Being a teenage girl is hard, but becoming a respectable woman is even harder. Brittany has a little bit to say about everything you are going through as a young girl and everything you look back on and regret as a grown woman. Where did you go wrong with love and friendship? What did it feel like to be betrayed? Who did you yourself betray? What is your purpose? Most importantly, how do you find your purpose? How do you become your most authentic self?
I didn't know what I was expecting going into this book, but by the end I was relieved that I had read it. We tend to get caught in the mindset that everything that happens in our life only happens to us, when that couldn't be more untrue. If you take anything from this book let it be that women need other women. If you find one genuine female friendship free of toxicity you are considered to be truly lucky, and that fact is just so sad. Women today demand so much respect, yet we have not yet learned how to respect each other. How can we love ourselves when we are so brutal towards our own?
I first heard about this book on Stefan Molyneux's YouTube podcast in his interview with Brittany Pettibone. Purchased on Amazon Kindle.
Thank you, Brittany for speaking out about how the publishing industry has been taken over by the left and their agenda to ruin everything. Readers are noticing and their propaganda is being rejected.
Congrats on your decision to get married and become a mother.
As a well known classic I rate this one up there with Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye,' meaning I didn't exactly love it, but I can respect Knowles' stAs a well known classic I rate this one up there with Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye,' meaning I didn't exactly love it, but I can respect Knowles' storytelling and writing for what it is. 'A Separate Peace' is a book that you live in for the scenery, which is much needed as you need something to look at while you wait for the plot to slowly progress. The story is slow moving, but between the lines there are many themes and lessons to take away from. Friendship, envy, insecurity, and fear are all represented through the boys of Devin school in such a way that you are forced to look inward and examine your own inner workings.
Without giving too much away, this is a coming of age novel that compares the inner turmoil of youth to a world at war. The young men in these pages struggle to leave their boyhood behind as they finish their last year of high school before they are inevitably shipped off to fight in WWll.
