'A wonderful book that is written by someone who has been through the hell of a breakup and come out the other side a stronger, wiser and more beautiful person. It’s for everyone who wishes to know the depths and heights of the human heart.' This book can offer solace to anyone going through anguish and despair, but it’s not only for them. It’s not pretty, but it’s beautiful in its honesty and openness. At the bottom she discovers who she truly is and rises up from a foundation of love and self-acceptance. She takes us into the aftermath of a breakup with the man she loved, spiraling into a darkness that threatens to eradicate her. But that process leads to true healing, as Michelle shows in her book. It’s easier to push pain down and bury it than to face it, let it tear you apart, and rebuild yourself from the pieces. ' Most of us would prefer to gloss over the painful parts of life. Thank you so much, Michelle, for writing this!'

I can feel myself growing and slowly becoming stronger. Reaffirmed that whatever is happening, is happening for me. The way it’s written and the layout, it pulls you in and makes you feel like you’re reading about a friend. Michelle does an amazing job at telling her story with so much wisdom. We've all been through some form of heartbreak one way or another.

Even if you aren't currently experiencing a 'broken heart,' you need this book in your life.'

Example: 'Sometime, too early in life, I decided that I wanted to be loved more than I wanted to be me.' DAMN. It's easy to read–simple and straightforward, but each sentence packs a complex punch. It almost feels like a reference volume, or a book of inspirational poetry to keep on your coffee table so you can flip through the pages on those days when you need a little extra guidance or assurance that everything is going to be OK (AKA, all the days). 'This isn't a book that you start, finish, and put away on the shelf.
