Talk about a breath of fresh air. Grace Valentine takes the pressure off of being perfect from page one until the final word of Is it Just Me?and in the process, that stunning relatability points us to the only answer, the only Savior, and the only One who is truly enough. I love this sister, and I love this book.

After reading this book, you feel like Grace Valentine is your new best friend. Her heart jumps off the pages, and her relatability will resonate with every reader. A good book always feels like a conversation between the author and the reader, and thats how Is It Just Me? made me feel. It is so amazing to see Grace allow the Lord to use her platform to bring light and truth to those struggling or in need of advice all over the world.

Is It Just Me? is a book I will reread over and over again. I cant put it down! Grace has a way with words that makes others feel less alone in their journey. I read these pages feeling seen and understood by her stories and encouragement. Is It Just Me? addresses many real experiences with authenticity, honesty, and hope. I have no doubt that this book will be a healing tool for many readers to draw closer to God while being comforted by the reminder that theyre not alone as they navigate their hurts, doubts, and fears.

One word continually comes to my mind while reading this book: authentic. In a society thats obsessed with perfection, we are left with feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and loneliness. I celebrate Grace for sharing difficult real-life experiences, and I admire how she covers them in truth. Im left encouraged to laugh at the impossible standard of perfection and to instead chase toward the freedom of being imperfectly in this together!

Grace uses her God-given talent to unapologetically reveal her heart as she honestly and openly navigates her own relationship with Christ. Is It Just Me? is a love letter to each of us, inducing conviction and requiring an examination of our own hearts, with a promise of a God who yearns to know us.

Finally, a book filled with answers to honest questions! Grace Valentine very candidly lays open her private questions about her own life while sharing with the reader the answers shes found in Scripture. She writes with a truthful, honest edge that conveys the credibility of her experience as a young Christian woman. Graces warm and inviting voice will make you feel like you are sitting across the table from her, sharing an experience while she lovingly listens, affirms, yet still manages to challenge you to push past the pain into healing found only in Jesus. This book will meet so many young women in a place of confusion and lead them out with the clarity provided in Gods Word. Grace is a fresh and comforting voice for her generation and many to follow.

Grace is not afraid to share her real and relatable experiences to ensure the readers that they are not alone in the struggles they face and the questions they ask. I encourage anyone who needs to be reminded that Jesus is faithful through the good, bad, and ugly to read this book.
