Written in a conversational tone right from the start, this one hundred day devotional feels as if I were sitting down with two close, long time friends of mine, listening as each shared personal obstacles as well as achievements in her life. I enjoyed reading about their struggles and how they turned these difficult times into times to trust God. The forward by their good friend Selena Gomez was a delight as I know Selena Gomez has reached out publicly about her own struggles with society's expectations and her mental health.

Each day's entry begins with a scripture relating to the following discussion. I enjoyed the highlighted sections following the personal stories that delved deeper into the meaning of the entry as well as the last section of each entry which gave me actions/suggestions of how I could potentially apply the message to my own life. I especially enjoyed when they offered a prayer I could talk to God with to help me focus on my relationship with Him. Each day only take a few minutes to read, but the lasting messages remained with me for much longer. I will be returning to this inspirational book again.
