Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy

Hold up. Stop. Whether you like this book depends so much on, well, you.

Anne gives us basically a stream of consciousness scream for why we can be happy with more mercy for ourselves and others. I truly enjoyed it. I felt inspired by her lists, imperfections, sardonic humor, and questioning humanness. It is so easy to relate, to see the same failures, questions, and reasons for hope in our lives...or at least for me it was.

Whether or not you pick up or enjoy this book, I wish you mercy. Treat yourself like a friend. Listen to you, really listen. Chill out. Love.

Least favorite book of one of my favorite authors. It came across as preachy and uninteresting. Bummer.

Lovely and meaningful. There's a lot to think about and I will probably need to reread it to get the nuances

I wasn't as wowed by this book of Anne's but it was also the first time I listened to an audiobook version. Still so good and words to soak in 💗

The deepest, most thoughtful, cleverest Anne Lamott ever. So wise.

I did not get much out of this one. I'd recommend her other books over this one.
