GIRL, STOP APOLOGIZING

Author-narrator Rachel Hollis pulls no punches with this manifesto in which she exhorts women to claim the lives that they've always wanted. She sounds direct, confident, and kind. Her warm, down-to-earth style makes this listening experience like having your best friend or a life coach as close as your pocket or earphones. In a friendly tone she lists the main reasons why women don't achieve their dreams or ambitions—such as living their lives in terms of other people—and encourages them to avoid such pitfalls. This is an inspirational title that fans will have on their playlist to listen to again and again. M.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2019]
