I have followed her through the parts of her life that she's shared on YouTube for the past 3ish years. I love watching her videos and was so excited when I heard that she was writing this book. I had to order it immediately! I received my copy today and already devoured it. This isn't one of my typical reads, but I couldn't put it down. The emotions that I felt were like I was there going through all of this with her. To me, this is a book about life and getting through the toughness of it. It was well written, and I believe that it will touch many others as much as it touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your story and all the behind-the-scenes that had to have taken a lot of strength to put out in the world. You are one of the strongest people that I know, even if I have never personally had the chance to meet you. (Maybe one day) Keep going and never give up on your dreams. I can't wait to read your very first romance novel 😍

It took me a while to read this book as not long after I received my copy I also lost my soul dog and have been on my own healing journey. This book so very good and eye opening on her struggles with loosing her soul dog and living life. I have been watching her YouTube channel for a while now and love her content so was so happy to see she wrote a book. Shows life is not what it seems even for people who show us their lives daily, we never know what is truly going in behind the scenes. I would definitely recommend this book. Marie thank you for sharing your story and life with us and being raw about it.

The struggle to overcome the loss of her faithful companion and best friend, Loxi, Marie takes us through the loss, the regret of a home purchase that she thought would heal herself mentally and physically, we see the raw side of the decisions that she made and the sad outcome.
Thank you for sharing your pain and struggle to learn from the decisions that you made and for sharing the regret and sadness. It was, I am sure very hard for you to share but we appreciate your honesty.
We share our compassion and grace that you were able to accomplish this.

I love this book! It is exactly what I thought it would be. Marie wrote a note in mine to me and that’s very special. I don’t care that my name wasn’t “printed” in the book because I preordered it, her note was better! It was like sitting next to her and her telling me her story of the past two years. I have followed her channel for many years and love her and the content. Thank you Marie for sharing your life with us. We love you!

I related to all of the parts of losing Loxi because I've been through it and it's the hardest thing I've gone through. I wish that on NO ONE. All of those parts broke my heart and I loved reading where you spoke to her.

This book was going to get a higher rating.. but, lighting living things on fire (even if it's 'just a bug') is where I draw the line.. and even thinking it's funny?! That was very disappointing.

I have followed Marie for years (back when she had her corporate job) and loved this book. Marie opened up and shared so much of what she was dealing with over the past two years, her honesty and openness was heartwarming. What's so crazy as I was reading her book it was her voice I heard in my head reading the words to me. ❤️

I have watched Marie for years on You Tube and have laughed and cried “with” her. This book is raw and real and had me in my feels! Thank you for being vulnerable telling us about this two years of your life.

Love you!
