I listened to this book rather than reading a hard copy, as the audiobook is narrated by Joanna and there is something quite special about being able to listen to the author of a book read it in their own voice. It's my favorite way to enjoy a modern memoir.

Whilst full of lovely sentiments, inspiring thoughts and sweet memories, I found myself wishing that Joanna had let us in a little more as she wrote. The book gave me the feeling that she was holding back and I think it could have been so much more special if she had gone just a little bit deeper. (

Joanna Gaines does an exceptional job of sharing her truth and looking to connect with her audience in what feels like an authentic way. She shares memories of her childhood, motherhood, marriage, and business that have shaped her, considers the things that mean the most to her, and discusses her journey to finding her purpose.

My big takeaway from this book is that she’s had a little and she’s had a lot. Gaines hasn’t forgotten where she comes from and decided that she was willing to trade fame for a life that encompassed her family and allowed her to focus on the little things (which, spoiler alert: are actually the big things). While much of this book is repetitive, it honestly has a lovely message that is worth repeating.
Joanna Gaines is relatable and this story is genuine. I loved what she had to say and it made me think about what means the most to me.

Thanks to Harper Select and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. The Stories We Tell is scheduled for release on November 8, 2022. (

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Imagine if all the worn-out, untrue, painful chapters of our lives started to quiet, and the beautiful, unique pieces of who we are were to rise. Imagine if the stories we tell brought us back to our true selves, back to one another. Imagine if they spoke of how we loved and lost and tried our best. How we saw it all, even the parts that hurt.

Joanna Gaines' new book, The Stories We Tell, invites us on an authentic and deeply vulnerable journey into her story�??and helps shine a light on the beauty of our own�??guiding us to release the weights that hold us back so we may live and share our story in truth.

We've all dropped anchor in places that suited us for a time: a city, a perspective, a lie we mistook as truth. This book is an invitation to a kind of life where you know how to hold what you believe�??about yourself and the quiet worlds behind the people you pass�??with gracious and open hands. To see your story as greater than any past or future thing, but for all the beauty and joy and hope it holds today.

It's an invitation to take stock of the chapters you've lived�??the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly�??glean what's gold, and carry only that forward. Let it slow your feet and steady your life-in-motion so you can see where you stand today from a new point of view. No longer through weary or uncertain eyes, but a lens brimming with hope.
