This extraordinary work chronicles the crackup of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, successful-and slowly going under. Largely autobiographical, the novel reveals much about the sources of Plath's own tragedy.

Read It All
Format: Hardcover
First Impression and Why I Bought It: This book was very informative and may be a fresh read for some people. I bought it during a time of my life when I wasn't sure what I wanted out of my relationship because I was struggling with an unrealistic and teenage way of dating as a young adult.
About/From the Book: I learned the value of singleness and what it would mean to move forward in a healthy, committed relationship. It can be a good basis for any young person looking for guidance in how to maximize your singleness; learning yourself--what you like and don't like, what you want to do/don't--how to set realistic expectations for yourself in pursuit of a partner, how dating should go based on biblical standards but it teaches how to do that in a practical and modern way. Throughout the book the value in your relationship with God and how the value of that relationship flows into your romantic, friend, and business/work-related relationships is tied together. So if you're single or dating and you want to gain a different perspective of how to navigate your period of singleness using a modern biblical practice but also just relevant to Gen X, check this out.
Would I recommend? Yes.
Who would I recommend it to? 18-24 y/os.
My Appliances: Ironically, after reading this book I did take up new skill, figured out what I wanted in my relationship, and recommend it to a friend who bought a copy. And regarding the biblical based modern dating technique, it can be done, it just takes maturity and restraint. Although being an adult where I am now in life, I think that if you're with someone that you know, that you know you're going to marry then hiccups may occur when trying to apply that, especially when you're attracted to that person, haha.
Conclusion: Please read the book in an objective format, yes some things can be taken literally, but life isn't gonna happen the way he describes it. These are just rules of thumb to reference as you do life and apply at your own discretion.

✨✨The best recipe manual 📖 to cook up a life full of abundance and fulfilling relationships!! ✨✨
Format: Hardcover
Light bulbs💡 when off in my head, helping me put the puzzle together!
I am only in the first chapter of the book, but Relationship Goals has already brought clarity and is connecting the dots to things I have been struggling with in my relationships. I instinctively have the intentions to be the best person I can for myself and others. I was self sabotaging myself due to lacking the proper guidance that I’ve been searching for. Hitting a low level in my life, a lot of my relationships have been destroyed due to lack of knowledge. We all know what we want out of a relationship but seem to fall short and miscommunication then shatters our true intentions. The book is a reminder of God’s natural law and the purpose he planned over my life. It’s a manual on how to use his word to navigate and win in relationships. If your like me and you love your family and friends, but deep down inside you want more then what they can help you with. Turn back to God, grab this book, read and listen with faith!!! You will know how to move forward and get back to living an abundant life.
This book is for everyone in any relationship situation that has a plan but need the step by outline on how to get to the goal. Relationship Goals is a easy to read recipe book! It has a hint of relatability to millennials, dash of scripture references, and cup full of Pastor Michael Todd’s advice and humor.
Thank you for the perfect recipe manual to help get me back on track to trusting God and walking in my purpose!

LIFE CHANGING ON EVERY LEVEL!!!!
Format: Hardcover
This isn’t just a book by any means because you will want to highlight things and read several times!! This is a real lifetime manual that can be referenced as often as necessary. I have purchased several to gift to loved ones because I want them to receive the blessings that I have through this book. God truly works through Pastor Todd but Pastor Todd’s “keep it real “approach to his wisdom is so down to earth as if he’s your best friend with great advice at your home visiting and kicking it with you. Made me wanna watch all of Transformation Church’s videos on YouTube and listen to the podcasts in my car. The first few lines and chapters of this book will give you spiritual and common sense “ah haa” moments. You can’t stop reading. A definite page turner. I have grown spiritually and emotionally but more importantly was reminded of a lot of life lessons that will continue to foster the amazing life that God has for us all if you are obedient to his instruction. This will improve every relationship of any kind. But more importantly the relationship you have with yourself, to help you make the life changes for the life you really deserve.

Beautiful book with history, destination information, and photos
Format: Hardcover
I knew very little about the Camino de Santiago prior to obtaining this book. However, the book is stunning in its information about destinations, history, towns you'll pass through along the way, and beautiful photos that create desire to hike or bike the trail in the immediate future. I found myself engulfed in this book and wanting to do several of the trails as soon as possible! The book, unlike other DK books I own, is hard cover. It's solid and durable and could easily be a coffee table book rather than a hiking guide. In fact, I think it may be meant in this way to be used rather than a take-along for a long hiking trip. If you're thinking about exploring the Camino de Santiago, this is a must read!
