When I first heard about the announcement of this book, I was going to read but had really low expectations with this book. I wasn’t a fan of Jinger’s last book she had written with her sister because I thought it was a preachy preachy self help kinda book rather then a memoir. I didn’t get that with this book, not only were Jinger and Jeremy were spreading the gospel but they shared their story and how their faith helped build the relationship.

There were some things that I was surprising like Jeremy’s life before he met Jinger, Jinger dealing with body image issues and basically her parents not respecting their kids boundaries (when Michelle tells Jinger to be friends with people that clearly only cared about being on tv to be loving to them is where I have a big issue among other issues). Also the fact that Jim Bob rejected Jeremy at first because of Theology differences and the Jinger rejected him because she was scared of how her family was going to think about her dating someone with different views was basically a roller coaster ride I didn’t know I was going to go on even though I know they are married lol.


If you were expecting to go into this book in hopes of mentioning of Josh Duggar and the whole scandal back in 2015, don’t be too excited. They don’t even mention his name in the book, they only mentioned how they were told about and that’s it. I can respect cause why would they talk about Josh in this book when it’s about their relationship. I do feel for them now because of Josh Duggar’s recent arrest.

I liked that after Jinger married Jeremy she branched out by being ok with making her own choices for herself. She evaluated her beliefs that were instilled in her growing up with her family and researched in the Bible if she was going to break her faith by wearing pants and showing her shoulders. She came to the conclusion on her own, made the decision for herself, and Jeremy was supportive.

Not going to lie, I cringe a couple of times when they mentioned Kirk Cameron and John MacArthur cause those people have been VERY outspoken when it comes to the lgbtqia+ community and just rubs me the wrong way. I know Jinger and Jeremy definitely has similar views but still.

They did go into basically a revision of everything that we’ve seen on counting on so be prepared to hear stuff like that.

I thought this was fine overall. If you’re a fan or have guilty pleasure in watching the show, feel free to read this.
