Positive Way to Start Your Day

I feel like Bianca is my online best friend. Her advice is pure and relatable.

For single, young ladies...

This book is geared for the single, young lady, and is not written very well. Normally I love the author, but I think she is a better speaker than author. Disappointed.

Surprisly lovely!!

I love Bianca's personality! Christians, don't let the word SUCK in the title keep you from this scripture filled gem. I was a little surprised at how much was dedicated to being single, but glad I stuck it out because it's filled with so much encouragement.

Horrifying impersonations of a Jewish woman

I cringed everytime she did the awful voice for Naomi. It was grotesque and offensive and unnecessary. I would never recommend the audio book to anyone. That sadly overshadowed the book for me. Some sections were very good though. Those who have had a rough life will not appreciate her perspective.

Good Christian perspective on adulting!

I read this book as I wanted to share it with a mentee. I have to say the beginning felt a little bit slow for me, it is worth noting that I’m in my 50s so that’s probably why. Halfway through the book, though, it became really interesting and it has lessons not just for younger generations but it reaffirms for people who have been adulting for a while the importance of legacy and trust in God.

Stop the Jewish impersonation

Good book. Just wish the author (a Latina from California) didn’t feel the need to do Jewish accents she believes is Ruth’s voice. It’s a little insensitive, culturally.

Loved it and You will too!

This book was great. I started it like 8 months ago and it was speaking to a different part of my life. I sat it down and picked it up with a group of friends all.3 in different walks of life 1 single, 1 in a new relationship and 1 planning a wedding during a pandemic. All lived it related to different chapters in different ways and walked through it with conversations that helped w accountability and encouragement. I highly recommend this book !

Loved it!

Love Love Loved it! Thank you for sharing your heart and perspective! I'm recommending to others.

Bianca Slays!

As always, I find Bianca's words full of truth and guidance. Her ability to write and speak evokes the best of emotions. We all have those moments in life where we feel like we're sunk, she provides biblical stories and personal anecdotes to guide us all through the toughest of seasons.

A must read!

Sweet

This is my first time listening to one of Bianca’s books and it was sweet. There were a few things I thought was a little contradicting in the book but overall I still enjoyed it. I’m glad she was the one to read it aloud. Her personality is fun.
