Another huge bestseller smash hit – Untamed by Glennon Doyle – her 2020 memoir takes up where Love Warrior left off and feels like the memoir Doyle was put on this earth to write. Here, we review the memoir and give our thoughts.
Every so often you read a book that shakes you to your core and gives you a new perspective on life itself. Untamed by Glennon Doyle does just that, offering a guiding light through any form of darkness or confusion. Like Cheryl Strayed, Doyle’s memoir offers an unabashed, loving and no nonsense take on life and its lessons. The memoir flips back and forth through the life lessons that Doyle has learned on being authentically herself and how to achieve unashamed happiness through finding the true self. It is astonishingly brave and is one that we will be returning to time and time again. If you want to read a core-shaking memoir that will leave you wanting more from your life, this is it.
Through Untamed, Doyle leads through her decision to leave her marriage to her former husband upon meeting her wife, Abby. A strong core of the book revolves around parenthood and the way that Doyle has decided to parent her children, including the lessons that she has learned from her children and the decisions she has taken throughout her years of parenting, including endearing stories of her daughter’s decision to (not) get her ears pierced and to enter a soccer team. There are more life lessons here that it seems possible to contain in one book, but Doyle unveils them bit by bit like petals of a flower, delicate and beautiful.
