I have not listened to Amanda's music, and don't have the strong polarizing feelings about her that I see in other reviews of this book on GoodReads. Seems like this allowed me to enjoy the book on its own merits, without all the other AFP baggage. I came across the book because Kindle recommended it to me based on other stuff I read.

This book reads like a memoir. It feels honest, very relatable and eminently engaging. I teared up at times, laughed out loud at times. There is a thread about asking, and the differences asking and begging, asking and demanding, but this does not read as a self-help book; the content is mainly vignettes from Amanda's life.
