Unfortunately I found this book hard to follow. The author has great personality but it was hard to follow her thought process.

The message in this book is one that is rich in scripture and very much needed in the time in which we are living. Whitney has done an outstanding job in this her debut novel. I look forward to more from her.

I can’t even explain how much I loved this book. It was exactly what I needed. I want to be transparent, and I’ve been told that I am, but transparency needs to lead to change. I need to be able to be transparent about all of the good God does in my life despite my failures. I DO try to do this, but I definitely need to do it more.

I'm so thankful there are more and more books written like this one as of late, in this current age of Rachel Hollis-esque books. Whitney Capps does as great job of expanding on a lot of the message that I loved in Timothy Keller's The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness. Honestly, I think we are all sick of ourselves when it's the only thing we are constantly thinking about, and it was refreshing to me to hear Whitney's perspective on how we can shift our focus outward when we are weary and worn out from me me me. Would definitely recommend to a friend!

Really enjoyed Whitney's writing. She really has a way of explaining herself that I could really relate too.

I have enjoyed Whitney Capps articles through the years. I didn´t like the picture on the cover with the face all scribbled, but then I thought it got my attention... and also the title because I have been very sick of me too. This book got me thinking that Christian life is about dying and dying to ourselves. I liked that the author it is not just about encouraging us to open up and be raw with each other but to encourage you to really change. Only God can help us in this process, to get outside the self-centered cycle and selfishness that hunt us all the time.

This was the first book that exposed me to the counter self-help culture, particularly from a Christian perspective. There are so many books out there that tout the idea of hustling and going for what you want. Often if authors of those books talk about faith, it's mentioned as a sidenote with the focus still being on what the self can do. I would love to see Whitney have a discussion or debate with one of those authors. She stands firm in her position and isn't afraid to delve into the nitty gritty differences between self help and sanctification. This book isn't the easiest read, but it's not supposed to be. It's for the reader whose ready to get their hand dirty, take a deep dive into Scripture, and also take a hard look at themselves and their motives for spiritual acts. Promoting sanctification over self help is an uphill battle, since people can see the tangible benefits of reaching their self help goals, but can't necessarily see the benefits of sanctification with their own eyes. Whitney approaches this battle head on.

Whitney Capps does a good job writing for younger millennials or college age kids about being authentic and true and what sanctification really means. People who are familiar with her writing will love this and I think she’ll appeal to new readers too.

Whitney Capps is a wonderful writer. I've read pieces she's written for other blogs and this was an enjoyable read. She talks about sanctification and transforming yourself to its honest and truest form.

This book is great for right now. Alot of people feel lost and ready for change during these times. Pick up this book if you're ready for more.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and I feel like it is a good book for women in "emerging adulthood" to read; especially those looking to grapple with growing authentically in their faith in the age of social media. I do feel, however, that if someone is a voracious reader of similar Christian books, there's probably not much in terms of new or unique information. I enjoyed reading the anecdotes and I liked the author's voice/writing style! I'm sure I could find quite a few girls in my groups that this book would really resonate with.

Thank you NetGalley & B&H Books for a free e-ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.

Written to its readers, Sick of Me urges the reader to live for Jesus, really live. The author calls us to be authentic, open and honest with who we are in Christ.

This one was perfectly fine. I enjoyed the material, but I didn't really feel like there was much offered to the narrative that isn't already in books similar in subject matter. Nothing was wrong with this text, just nothing felt unique about it.

I am in charge of our Senior School library and am looking for a diverse array of new books to furnish their shelves with and inspire our young people to read a wider and more diverse range of books as they move through the senior school. It is hard sometimes to find books that will grab the attention of young people as their time is short and we are competing against technology and online entertainments.
This was a thought-provoking and well-written read that will appeal to our readers across the board. It had a really strong voice and a compelling narrative that I think would capture their attention and draw them in. It kept me engrossed and I think that it's so important that the books that we purchase for both our young people and our staff are appealing to as broad a range of readers as possible - as well as providing them with something a little 'different' that they might not have come across in school libraries before.
This was a really enjoyable read and I will definitely be purchasing a copy for school so that our young people can enjoy it for themselves. A satisfying and well-crafted read that I keep thinking about long after closing its final page - and that definitely makes it a must-buy for me!

Loved reading Sick of Me - Capps teaches us the difference between transparency and transformation within our lives as Christians, and how being transparent can be self-centered and not helpful in sanctification.

This book challenges us to look closely at ourselves and our motives and reactions. At the same time, this book reminds us that our focus should not be on ourselves, but God. This is a good book to have on your bookshelf and read every so often.

Whitney inspires me. Whitney challenged me. Jesus will do the work of sanctifying me. If you have never understood some of the big words of the church like sanctification and transparency and vulnerability or thought you knew what they meant, Sick of Me will transform and make clear your understanding. I took careful time reading this book because my thoughts were constantly refocusing on things I thought I understood. I would recommend reading it alone and again in a Bible study setting.

I love this book! I feel like Whitney talks about something Christians experience but don't talk about - trying to grow in Christ and then realizing it's not about you. This book gave me some perspective about life as well as some definitions to chew on. Definitely a worthwhile read.

Thanks go to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

In a world where each person is encouraged to put himself first, it is easy to become self-centered. (I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, should we?) The theory goes that by putting oneself first and doing “what’s right for you”, a person will be completely happy with life. Sounds great, yet that’s not what most self-centered people experience.

Sick of Me teaches the reader that life ISN’T meant to be lived with an “all about me” mentality, but instead by following the lead of the Holy Spirit, allowing God to work through you. This book is a great reminder of the power and joy available in life when we accept that the best life is found when we get ourselves out of the way and follow God’s lead.

Whitney is quite funny, honest, and bold in her book "Sick of Me". I began reading this book earlier this week, and I had a hard time putting it down. I found myself diving into the book, whenever I had a free moment, and kept reading. In this book, Whitney reminds of our need for the right transparency. As we are open and vulnerable about our struggles, how are we shouting from the roof tops what our God has done in our midst - despite our struggles? We are given the opportunity to confess, but to do something else that we just cannot miss. We get to see the power of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and how He changes our lives from the inside-out. Love, love, love this book!!
