There is a better life for you if you have the courage to take the steps one by one to get there.
I thoroughly enjoyed this memoir! From the first page, I was captivated by Chené's tone and engaging introduction, which felt like an intimate invitation to a one-on-one conversation. I sensed that I was about to embark on an epic adventure, and I wasn't disappointed. The author's journey is a powerful exploration of highs and lows, with deep valleys of disappointment and self-doubt that I instantly related to.
Chené's experiences not only mirrored my own life's journey but also cast a light on my low points, helping me understand and find closure. Her ability to summarise circumstances and turn lessons into landmarks is remarkable. This brave and candid memoir is both memorable and inspiring, showing readers how to pick themselves up and become stronger, more powerful individuals.
I'm all the better for emerging on the other side of her journey! Finding My Supergrrl is a must-read for anyone looking for a story of resilience and personal growth.
This memoir is best described as “Under the Tuscan Sun” meets “Devil wears Prada/ Miss Congeniality”. A book I believe many women would be able to relate too especially when over coming challenges.
I really love how Chené made me feel all the feelings and emotions. And I appreciated all the ways we are the same and the ways we are different, yet we can still learn from each other. There were many times I got nostalgic for my own travels, lessons learnt, and friends met. I appreciated the raw openness and vulnerability throughout the book.
I lived it. I wrote it. I shared it. I hope this finds its way to the people that need a little bit of hope to keep going or to make changes and sparks some adventure. If nothing else, it will sure give you a few giggles with the amount of time I got lost even with Google Maps.
Tuck's writing style is deeply personal, engaging and reflects a spicy combination of humour and insight - the way she writes immediately pulled me into the story. I found myself laughing along with her, and I will not deny the amount of times my eyes teared up! Through Tuck's words I could well imagine the streets of London or the motorbikes in Asia as her descriptions are both immersive and entertaining.
The story itself is a narration of Tuck's journey from a moment in her life, where she finds herself at a crossroads and deeply depressed, through the changes she decided to make to flip her life around, till present day. She comes full circle, and takes the reader along for the ride. Imagine being at your lowest, and you have to swim or sink at a time in your life where you think you should have it all together? Relatable, right? That's what I loved about Finding my Supergrrl, I may not have experienced any of the author's events, however I can deeply empathise and understand what she feels during this time.
Rather than purely documenting her travels, both internal and external, Tuck pulls the reader into her adventures. I was invested! There were so many moments where I was forced to stop and do a bit of introspection whether it was through the playlist of songs, a dark moment in the journey or through a similar experience I found myself gravitating to.
All in all, Finding my Supergrrl is an acknowledgement of personal grief using travel as a way of finding one's true north. This is a must read for women seeking inspiration, a funny adventure or to remember that none of us alone.
I was incredibly blessed to be picked to be on @chenetucks street team.
This book is such a deeply personal read, and I think no matter your stage in womanhood, you'll find something that touches you.
I highlighted so many parts, some I'll share others I won't because they're quite personal in nature, and the reasons the quotes resonated is not something I want to share.
This book lets you know you're not alone, that there's always someone in your corner and that you are worthy.
Some of my favourite quotes: *The only way to have good judgment is to have had some experience. * I may have lost myself in London, but at the same time, I found myself and a strength I thought I had forgotten that I had. *Say yes and go left. * I was breaking down the illusions of who I thought I had become over the years.
And there's plenty more.
This book reads like a cosy conversation with your best friend.
@ was incredibly brave sharing her heart this way, and this book has been on my mind since I finished it.
So if you're at a crossroads in your life ( in any area), READ THIS BOOK.
If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or like life isn’t going the way you imagined, Finding My Supergrrl might just be the book you need. Let me just say the amount of times this woman got lost or missed her bus or went the wrong way had me screaming at the book and laughing! There were tears too don’t get me wrong as funny as this book was I cried, I cried because there were so many parts that felt so raw and personal and there were parts that felt like it was out of my own diary.
Chené Tuck’s memoir is part travel story, part soul-searching journey, and all heart. After going through some really tough personal experiences—including losing a parent—she packs her bags and heads off to explore eight different countries. But this isn’t some fancy Instagrammable adventure; it’s raw, real, and emotional.
What I loved most is how honest she is. She talks openly about grief, loneliness, and how hard it is to find your place in the world when nothing feels certain. At the same time, she reminds you that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. You don’t have to follow a timeline or anyone else’s idea of “success.”
There are moments in the book that hit deep, especially when she shares what it felt like to be far from home during such an emotional time. But there are also moments of hope, strength, and those quiet little wins that remind you healing isn’t always big or dramatic—it’s often slow and quiet, but still powerful.
The title Finding My Supergrrl is perfect, because this book is all about discovering the strength you didn’t know you had. It’s real, relatable, and super inspiring without being preachy.
In short: It’s a moving and empowering read for anyone going through change, heartbreak, or just trying to figure life out. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in a phase of rediscovery—or if you just want to read a story that’s both emotional and uplifting.
Rating: 5/5 Heartfelt, honest, and full of soul.
PS. Life doesn’t end when one book closes. Write another one start a new chapter. It only ends when you take your last breath OR if you give up 🩷
Finding My Supergrrl is one of those rare books that feels like a conversation with the author herself. From the very first page, Chené’s voice is warm, honest and deeply engaging. Reading this memoir is like sitting down for coffee with a close friend who isn’t afraid to share the raw, beautiful and sometimes painful moments of her journey and allow the reader to connect with her.
The storytelling flows effortlessly, weaving personal reflections with vivid imagery that stays with you long after you’ve put the book down. Every chapter starts off with the most beautiful introductory paragraph that is either the most uplifting piece or the most heartbreaking. Also, shoutout to Chené for loving ice cream as much as I do, it made me feel weirdly seen in the middle of my own mess.
Chené takes you with her from the start of her heartbreak journey, through her healing (with funny moments, memorable quotes, and friends I wish I had), all the way to the moment she finally found herself and became her own Supergrrl. I'm not ashamed to say I did tear up and cry more than once and I underlined so many lines that it looks like a school book but I wouldn't change a single thing.
If you’re looking for a memoir that leaves a lasting impression and feels intimate, authentic and real, Finding My Supergrrl is absolutely one to add to your reading list.
“Live fully. Love openly. Make my difference. Live it. Feel it. Breathe it. Feel life coursing through my body. Be Confident. Focus on living a better life.”
I had to pause when I read those words. They weren’t just beautiful, they were true. Deep-in-your-bones, take-a-breath-and-feel-it kind of true.
Finding My Supergirl by Chené Tuck isn’t just a travel memoir. It’s a soul map. A journal of breaking and becoming. And honestly, I didn’t expect it to hit me this hard.
There’s something about the way Chené shares her story, open, unfiltered, without pretense, that made me feel like I was walking beside her. Grieving with her. Questioning everything with her. And then… little by little… daring to hope again with her.
She doesn’t write like she’s trying to impress anyone. She writes like she’s finally telling the truth. About loss. About identity. About feeling invisible in your own life. About packing up the pieces and going, not just across the world, but deep within, to find out who the hell you really are.
It’s painful in parts. But it’s also liberating. Fierce. Funny, even. And so full of heart.
By the end, I didn’t just admire her bravery, I felt like I had permission to chase down my own version of freedom.
This book isn’t just for the wanderers. It’s for the women who’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way. The ones who stayed too long, who hurt too quietly, who are still searching for the version of themselves they were always meant to be.
Thank you, Chené. For your courage. For your words. For reminding me that my own Supergrrl might be waiting on the other side of letting go.
I finally finished Finding My Supergrrl by Chene Tuck last night. I loved this book and the way it was written I felt as if I was with her, I have never felt so bad but also inspired by someone so much. Speechless and sad and also inspiring also lots of fun. Prenominal writing! I loved the stories she shared, as well as all the other deepest parts of her life. Wild times, for sure! It took me a good long while to read this book. It was so good, I didn't want to finish it! I took my time reading it. She speaks in such an authentic voice, and with such depth. When someone is ready to tear back those layers and say here, this is me, this is what I’ve been through, you know they have come to terms with themselves.... that’s priceless. It doesn’t mean they solved everything... Strong and courageous statements from her who reinvented herself over the years and, best of all, accepted herself. I loved this book so much because Chene is so brave, so honest, and so bold telling her story. She shares it all, she wrote it in a way that it feels as if we are all visiting, and going back to all those moments in her life right along with her as she tells her story. The writing style is very candid, and sincere; really felt like she was putting her whole heart into this book. this book was super entertaining, inspiring and even a little heartbreaking. No matter what happens in her life, or what people say about her, I am sure that Chene will continue to thrive, and will always encourage and motivate others to be the best version of themselves. Truly fantastic book. Thank you, Chene, for sharing with others. A must read!
A wonderful travel memoir, written in short, easy-to-read vignette chapters and full of motivational quotes. I learned a lot about Thailand and enjoyed seeing Chene's transformation as she navigated love, loss, and finding herself.
