Didn't See That Coming
by Rachel Hollis
Hollis on grief and sudden change, written after her divorce and her father's death: letting yourself feel, finding the next step, and rebuilding identity. Shorter and rawer than her earlier books; readers split on her sincerity.
Read it if…
you are in a sudden life upheaval and want a peer voice rather than a therapist.

Skip it if…
you found her earlier books glib; this will not change your mind.
Try instead: Monkey Mind →
Three things you will actually use
- Feel it; do not rush past.
- Identity survives circumstance.
- The next step is enough.
Do this first
Write what you have lost and what, if anything, you have gained.
Our verdict
Rawer, still divisive.
