This book is a big ol' thank-you note to everyone who helped Robin Roberts get through her health crisis. She's very thankful and it shows. I'll remember "Make your mess your message." That's a keeper.

The book is upbeat (maybe too upbeat to feel realistic sometimes) and too pious for my taste, but I recommend it for anyone going through a similar crisis, with this one caveat: if you're going through the same thing, you probably won't have access to the high-calibre treatment options and support systems that she had. Still, a positive attitude will go a long way in your treatment.

We listened to the audio book on a long road trip. I probably wouldn't have read it all the way through in print/ebook format, but it was quick, and Robin read it herself. She's a good narrator.

I wish you well!

I listened to this on audio book because I love Robin's soothing voice. This was a lovely tribute to all of the people who helped get Robin through her second battle with a life threatening illness. I don't think she could have squeezed more love, appreciation, and sincere thankfulness into the book than there already was. As her mother told her before, "you can't put a limit on gratitude." It was refreshingly honest and real, and at the same time so full of heart and determination. I would recommend this to anyone who likes Robin Roberts and could use a positive outlook to help get them through their own 'something'.

I really wanted to like this book. Powerful woman sports and news anchor, woman of color, lesbian. Epic memoir of health and recovery, family and motivations. It fell totally flat! I’m sorry that this story was uninspired, repetitive, and shallow.

I really enjoyed this book. I listened to it on audiobook, which she narrated and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A very good book. I've always liked Robin Roberts and admire her courage and strength. Her parents raised Robin and her siblings to be well grounded. I remember seeing her mother appear with her on "The View". I cried through the entire chapter of when she talks about her mother dying. Robin's mother told her, "Everybody's Got Something". That is some common sense that I am going to try and remember in my life. When you think things are bad in your own life, try to always remember that "Everybody's Got Something".

I listened to the audiobook while I was working out. There were some very funny parts and some sad parts. I enjoy hearing about other's background and stories.

Audiobook-

I still can’t allow myself to DNF a book, but this should’ve been the first one I did. I don’t watch GMA, I have no vested interest in RR. I read this book as it was on a list of books suggested for women with breast cancer, as I’m compiling a collection for my mom as she goes through her second battle. Overall, it’s repetitive and mostly boring.

I’m genuinely happy for RR and how she has survived two life threatening illnesses. However, I feel like this book was a who’s who on her friends list and the unlimited amount of resources she had available. In addition to general celebrity status perks, her job security, her large and supportive family, a whole list of celebrities that visited her in the hospital, private jets, her ability to hire anyone for any service she needed. If I was experiencing a life threatening illness this book would be the last thing that provided comfort, it would mostly do the opposite.
