You obviously didn't read the book at all.
Save your loshan hora and venomous jealousy for elsewhere.

Funny, I didn’t connote any negativity in her comment. Why did you jump to that???

"Preaches" generally has a negative connotation to it.
In any case, that's not what the book is about.

Bump- is it interesting? I am considering buying it for my mother, for a chanukah present... My mother enjoys self help/haskafa books or biographies. She is in her 50s...

I'd recommend Your Awesome Self, by Shterna Ginsburg
Just started reading it. Excellent book about being your neshama.

(I haven't read the yenta book)

How disappointing! From the title, I thought it was going to be a work of satirical humor.

It's not a comedy book, but she definitely infuses it with her sense of humor I laughed in many places

What did she say in the book about Monroe? Somebody said she liked that part, I wonder what

Are you from Monroe? If yes you'll love it. She has a whole chapter about being open minded debunking those that think that those that have many children or are very from are Opressed. It's based on a conversation in Monroe at Mei Menichas.

It's hard to explain the essence of the narrative, because it's so detailed and well written with her personal stories, humor and flair. It's truly a beautifully written book that I couldn't put down. Not your typical boring self help book. Artistically written weaving personal experiences with lessons learnt and tons of Frum female empowerment that had me saying YESSS!!!!! PREACH GIRL!!!! (in a good way) all throughout! It's a book I can't compare to any other... Ive never read something like this in our Frum market.

I know for some odd reason some women here on imamother don't go for Raizy. But I think if they read this book their opinion just may change. She is so so REAL in there! She shares things many women would not. It spoke to a very deep part of my soul. And I'm not the only one. All my neighbors are up with the book, there's so much to discuss.
