"Rejection of the world only brings you closer to the glory of God's plan for your life. Page turner. This is a book for everyone who feels like they aren't good enough, not worthy, or afraid of failure.
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. Psalm 31:25
Realizing if they aren't God, they don't matter. This book spoke to my heart. I never realized by choosing this book that it would completely change my perspective, on life, and on what others think of me.
Humorous, and laughter throughout this book!!! I had to read all the way through.

Inspirational is the word I would use for this book. I’m in a hard place in my life and this book could not have come into my life at a more perfect time. Ready to give up she laughs gave me a sense of purpose again and made me like I am strong and able to move on. The hilarious stories helped to!! I found my husband looking at me with a strange look on his face as I was reading the book one minute crying and the next laughing . I would recommend anyone looking to laugh, find a little peace and to smile when life’s testing you to take the time to read this you won’t regret it.

This book is a powerful reminder of God’s love and power to speak through us, and straight to us. The message that it conveys is life changing. A Godly woman is a woman who knows how to laugh. And she will. 5/5 stars for a gift from above.

So far I’ve only read the first three chapters and I can say that this book is going to be a really great book for people who need it

I have only a sneak peak of the book and I am anxiously waiting until January for its release! I laughed until I cried just in the first chapter. Carolanne is so relatable in her writing. Love it so far better than her first.

Very relatable and uplifting, reminder that God's got us. So refreshing to hear someone real and someone who's faith has prevailed. Kept me laughing!

There Carolanne Miljavac goes, making me laugh, cry and reflect all over again. I recieved an advanced digital copy from the publisher and I have read 3 chapters so far in one hour. I am hooked! I am left wanting more and I can not wait to read more. The book and author are 100% relatable and so truly genuine. I do enjoy a good ol' belly laugh. This book doesn't disappoint!

It’s not very often that I open a book and feel as if it’s speaking directly to me but She Laughs did just that. This book had me laughing,crying, thinking, smiling, and praying page by page. Between the hilarious stories and very moving scriptures, She Laughs will draw you in and make you not want to sit it down.

This book is so inspirational. As someone who hides my depression because I fear that other might think less of me. You helped me realize that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks of me. The only opinion that matters is God’s.
My favorite part of the book is “I can’t help my expressive face. It’s a gift and a curse.”, because I get told on a daily basis to fix my face.
Thank you so much Carolanne Miljavic for an amazing book.

This book is incredible. I am not an overly religious person, but I love CA's message and what she stands for. Her over the top hilarity and genuine personality shine through in her writing to relate each chapter of this book to every mother, grandmother, sister, aunt or woman in general. I literally feel like she wrote this book for me. You won't be disappointed.

This book is speaking volumes to so many stages of life. The innocent little girl I use to be, the teen I was ashamed of being, the young adult that hopelessly had no idea where my life was going and now an adult fighting for my own happiness.Transparency at its finest with a dash of humor! If you love her last book, you will love this one too! I promise, it won't disappoint!!

I am not one to read, but the author has changed that. I could not put the book down. Her stories and faith in God has helped me in so many ways. I look at things different thanks to her and the real life stores she tells. She find humor in everything even in the bad. Always laughing and making me laugh. Never thought I would be excited about reading. Truly amazing author.

First of all let me say I love this Arthur and I love this book! It awakens my spirituality. I can relate to her situations although mine aren’t exactly the same and love her resolutions and quotes!!! She lightens the way I think about my situations and now I try to approach my adversities in a humorous manor!! Can’t wait for her next book!!!
November 20, 2019
Just as powerful as Oddly Enough! I was drawn chapter after chapter before putting it down. Carolanne keeps her readers drawn in with faith, honesty, and humor that raises your spirit.
November 26, 2019
LOVE LOVE the way I can always relate if not in experience in emotional feeling. FOR SURE. She can take you to a whole new place where you can see some bad things from a different angle and perspective that can make you feel lighter hearted about it and can move forward easier

#oddlyenough was amazing!! I'm not one to be able to just sit down and just read, but I read this book in one day!!! Her humor, her realness, her message was what I needed and I didn't even know it!! Laugh and cry while reflecting on your own life in so many parts of the book! And #shelaughs has not disappointed!! Tears from laughing within minutes of the start! The greatness of the first continued and I am beyond excited to be able to finish this one too!! ❤❤

When I read this book I felt as though I hearing pieces of my own life and getting advice on how I can heal from it. This book brings you real and raw true life situations that are normally not spoken about while bringing the WORD at the same time. This woman has helped me begin a journey of healing I wasn’t even aware I needed.
December 3, 2019
So inspiring and uplifting. Carolanne's never disappoints. This books is full of laughter that will have you bent over if not falling on the floor in tears. And I'm pretty sure at some point we can all relate to her real life stories in one way or another that she's not afraid to talk about and laugh at and about. And it's true what they say laughter is the best medicine and she who laughs knows joy and has it in her heart. This book is a must for everyone!!💗 Remember to always laugh and if you have the chance spread laughter as well as love everywhere you go.

I am loving this author. This is actually the second book I’m reading that she has written and I’ve only read the first few chapters but I am hooked. The raw emotion that the author expresses in her writing is amazing. I feel like she knows me and has been through the trenches with me and encouraging me along my journey laughing, crying and praising god for pickin us up when we feel down. Great read!!!!

Only 3 chapters in and the real life situations are hysterical!! It’s cool because I can see similarities in my youth!!! I laughed out loud so many times!!!
December 3, 2019
Most of us find our lives full of stress and times of sadness or disappointment. When I saw this book, the photo and title caught my attention right away. I need more laughter in my life. I need to loosen up. But it's more than that, I need to do what the second part of the title says, choose faith over fear. This book includes so many funny stories from the author and is so relatable. I think many will find it hard to put down, not only because of the funny parts, but also because of the lessons you learn about not letting fear overtake you in life. I would recommend it to anyone who struggles to feel joy and not take themselves so seriously.

Carolanne is not afraid to tell some personal stories and help you realize you are not the only person going through events or rough times.

I love "She Laughs!" I've literally laughed out loud so many times. My husband, son, and students just look at me like I'm crazy when I randomly crack up laughing while reading. I love laughing and I love Carolanne's honestly and focus on Jesus. I'm so glad that my husband showed me Odd(ly) Enough while shopping at Sams last year. Carolanne is a fantastic author and I look forward to reading anything and everything that she writes. "A woman who can laugh has hope for joy in the future."

Ok first of all I have not actually purchased a book (well let’s just say it’s been awhile) but I was fortunate enough to receive a sneak peek from the publisher and that’s all it took I was hooked!! Carolanne Miljavac tells her stories straight, leaves nothing out as if your her best friend and your sitting right in front of her and you both are experiencing all the emotions together! I’ve never laughed, cried and laughed so much. It has left me looking at my own life and feeling no matter how bad it gets if I faith and if I can try to laugh more I will make it through.
