“Oh, the way I love this book and love Jess Johnston. She brings all her best qualities—vulnerability, depth, and humor—to this book in such a meaningful, impactful way. Reading it is like a breath of fresh air. It really is okay to be human, imperfections and all. Grace is for us all.”—Amy Weatherly, co-author of I’ll Be There (But I’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants)

“In a world that tries to be so perfectly perfect, Jess Johnston breaks through the noise, reminding us all that being real is the best way to be. I loved her book—and you will, too!”—Leslie Means, founder of Her View From Home and bestselling author of So God Made a Mother

“Jess Johnston’s thoughtful words have long resonated as exactly the message moms need to hear—and in such a funny and entertaining way that it’s just delightful to hear them. A generation of girls were raised to be ‘perfect,’ and now as mothers, this perfectionism can be stifling. Jess Johnston’s book is an invitation for a new generation of moms to boldly choose a messy, meaningful, pleasurable life in spite of it all. A hilarious, thoughtful, moving read . . . Perfectionism is overrated. Long live the beautiful mess.”—Liz Tenety, co-founder of Motherly

“Refreshingly self-aware . . . In this quippy guide, Motherly contributor Johnston (coauthor of I’ll Be There (But I’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants)) calls on women to cast aside unrealistic social expectations and embrace their God-given ‘flaws and gifts.’ . . . Christian women should take note of this down-to-earth invitation to seek self-acceptance.”—Publishers Weekly
