Like Brene Brown but with swearing. In F*ck Like Goddess, Alexandra Roxo expanding the net of spaces for women to claim their power back to the bedroom. In a breathe of fresh air, F*ck Like a Goddess refuses to divorce our sexual selves from our every day bodies and encourages us to stay connected to our lives, even when its uncomfortable.

I always read self-help books with a pinch of salt. Not everything works for everyone. Although I see the points the author makes and her message, I found it a bit too spiritual for my own personal taste. I might add that I'll give her credit for pointing out her own whiteness.

I am not a person who reads self-help books. They always make me feel awkward and uncomfortable cause I mean.. who the hell are you, trying to tell me how to live my life (even though I'm the one who decided to pick up your book)?? Plus, all the peppy, cheering you on stuff makes me roll my eyes, but maybe that's because I'm a super bitch? Peppy attitudes and inspirational quotes drive me nuts.

The title is definitely an eye catcher, and I wanted to see what this had to offer. Cause yeah, I totally wanna fuck like a goddess and own my voice and power and femininity and all that good stuff. Unfortunately, I am the same (maybe this just means I was doing all those things to begin with?).

It is extremely spiritual based and "feel the energy" type stuff. This is clearly a personal preference, and if this is your thing then that's cool, but it just isn't mine. Plus, a lot of this book is the author recounting all her own totally crazy life experiences. I understand the importance of anecdotes in order to either give examples or connect to the readers, but after she tells you about her experiences in all these crazy countries, dancing with snakes, and meditating with the best and smartest people for the millionth time, it starts to feel like she's just bragging.

I was trying really hard to listen to her and see what other readers might take from her advice and exercises, but it was just too much.

I couldn't get behind this one, but if it helps, it helps! Even though it's not for me, it definitely may benefit others who want to connect more to their spiritual self and learn to let go and let live (I cringed typing that, why am I like this? Why can't I just be happy?)

Happy Reading!

I requested this book even though I'm way out of the age group it's intended for. I started out really appreciating it, for the spirituality embraced, and the openness of Roxo. However, I guess I'm a more repressed baby boomer than I realized. I ended up skimming much of the book as it felt more like a brain dump, an urgent need for Roxo to tell her stories, than a self-help book. I have no issue with the f*ck in the title, or in the places in the book where a strong statement is needed. However, some were thrown in, it seemed, just to make sure it was in the book enough times. Perhaps I really am just too far out of the appropriate age group - even though I'm still on a quest to maintain and enhance my sexuality.

F*ck Like a Goddess by author Alexander Roxo is a fun and unique book. Goes without saying what the novel covers!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
