Enjoyed her Journey

It felt like looking thru a window into her life. I'm encouraged by her "Never Give Up" Attitude on life.

Beautiful and Honest!

I have followed Jacey for years and honestly couldn’t relate totally with her based on her Instagram but still loved her content. Now I feel like I truly know the woman behind the blog. This book was raw and honest and so relatable to me in many ways. Well done Jacey! ♥️

Transparent, Real and Relatable

A great listen during my nightly walks in my LA neighborhood. Jacey’s story is one of hope and resiliency that everyone should hear. The inner workings of the influencer world was fascinating to someone on the outside.

Pleasantly surprised

The audio is Jaceys voice which I didn’t mind but might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It feels like she is sharing the BTS of influencer life and I was very surprised by her journey. Her blog and IG are seemingly perfect but her journey has not been and I loved that she showed vulnerability. Very interesting read.

Wow. Just wow! ❤️

Jacey…I have followed you for years and have admired your style, sense of humor, and most importantly your love and devotion to your family.
I have celebrated with you, and cried for you over the loss for your sweet pups. I’ve admired the tactful way you creating boundaries for yourself and your family (we, as readers should respect that!).
And now you’ve opened yourself up and have made yourself even more relatable. I think anyone reading (or listening) to your book will walk away feeling common ground with you, and will learn from you. You are wise beyond your years. ❤️
Thank you for being brave enough to share your story.

Incredible

Jacey is honest, raw, inspiring & entertaining! Highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a slice of inspiration

LOVE IT

Absolutely loved this book by Jacey. I could have easily listened to another 10+ chapters. Great to hear more of a raw perspective from an influcer vs the glossed picture perfect versions we see on social media. An overall good story about self growth and struggles everyone can relate to.

Refreshingly Honest

I absolutely loved the raw honesty of Liking Myself Back, such a wonderful book, will definitely reread!

Audio is read like a bad MOH speech

Oooof. I don’t leave these kinds of reviews. I’ve followed Jacey for years and was excited to she accomplished writing this. Although I get where she was trying to go with this book, the tone and delivery is just…off? I usually love listening to audiobooks by the author, but it’s read like a bad MOH speech. It didn’t feel authentic to me & I just couldn’t get through it. I didn’t find it deep or encouraging.

I also don’t hate on people who own designer things (I myself do) but every mention of “I kicked off my Prada flats” made me rollllll my eyes. I get it - designer didn’t mean happiness, but….ehhhhh.
