First, let me start this review by saying this is more of a workbook type journal rather than a book to be read. It is filled with prompts to start writing and familiar quotes scattered throughout. What I really liked was the raw wording and sass the author used in the titles of the journaling exercises. The curse words, to me, make it more enjoyable to journal, What I wasn't crazy about, though, is the repetitive nature of the prompts. Although worded differently I imagined myself writing about the same things. Also, prompts that asked to think of songs that had a memory attached generally have a negative connection to me and speak of difficult situations I have been through. I admit that I am more of a reader than a writer though, so this offering maybe more suited and beneficial to the folks that journal often.

Many thanks to Netgally and the Girl Friday Productions for the opportunity to review F*cks to Give in exchange for an honest review.

Another self help book but this one has naughty language to add some humor. Again, another book with set number of tips and strategies to enjoy and make you pounder and help get out of a slump. Some these were quite humorous and will definitely do a few on a regular basis. The whole is basically a gratitude journal and taking charge of your life.

A great add to any self help library for reference.

I appreciate an ARC of this from Netgalley and Remington books. I has given a PDF version in exchange for an honest review. These PDF versions are a pain in the neck as my preferred method is my kindle. Still happy with this nonetheless.

What a fun book! You definitely don't want to give it to someone that
has a problem with LANGUAGE. It's bad, fun on every page. Myself, I
thought it was a cute little book!

Thank you so much, Remington8 Books, and Netgalley, for giving me the
chance to read and review this cute little book!

This book is everything! A gratitude journal like no other, it helps you "dig deep to find your f*cks." I loved the colorful graphics, the inspiring quotes, and the irreverent prompts that push you to give realistic answers instead of the ones you think you should be writing. I found myself reflecting on everything from shows I love to binge to the most awkward moments of my teen years, and I know this book will become a treasured keepsake and time capsule and not just another self-help experiment.

"F*cks To Give" is perfect for quarantine - if ever there was a time you needed to be reminded of reasons to "give a sh*t," it's now. I bought two for friends for Mother's Day because we all need to find the small joys in life at this moment - even if it's just about the time you clapped back at that social media troll.

Thank you to NetGalley and Girl Friday Productions for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is such a cute journal. It is way ore then your average blank white page notebook though. I love self-help journals and this one is by far a stand out. It has prompts for each section and really guides you though different thought processes. It helps you to notice the little things like smells and why you like certain music. It forces you to be reflective. I can assume that it would be useful if someone is going though a stressful time to have something to look back on. It doesn't require you to write a lot which I personally like. I can't wait to fill this up with ideas and thoughts. I am so excited. Thank you Netgalley and Girl Friday Productions for this PERFECT journal.

I am 100% full of sass 100% of the time. This book just helps me get it all out without hurting anyone's feelings. The prompts are great, the colors are fun. This is an amazing book for anyone who isn't afraid of actually thinking outside of the box.

A much needed workbook of all the things we need for ourselves during this time!

I received this ARC thanks to Netgalley and it was right up my alley with bright, fun colors and prompts I needed right now. I would highly recommend for anyone hoping to lighten the mood. Trendy and fun, this was unlike anything I’d ever read before!

Thia journal does what it says right on the cover. Makes you give a crap about what your writing along with a reason to write. I'm always lost but know I need to journal to clear my mind. The quotes are inspiring and interesting. This is a journal especially for adults that just cant start.
Thank you for accepting me to try your journal I am very grateful for the opportunity. #netgalley #f*ckstogive

I love journals! I’ve been journalling since I learned how to write. And journal prompts are super fun. I was excited to see this book filled with tons of prompts and beautiful graphics and colours. There are also lots of quotes which are uplifting and inspiring. Each prompt and page has plenty of space to write out your feelings and answers. My favourite prompt is list your top 3 favourite books and why?

This is a cute, modern take on a gratitude journal. People will buy this for the aesthetic, not the originality of the concept. The design is bright, colorful, and happy. The quotes interspersed throughout the book are from millennial popular culture favorites. I do like how the journal is continuous. By the end you have a numbered list of 201 things to be grateful for.

Thank you NetGalley and publishers for an ARC.

This is a really fun and engaging journal. It does contain some language as to be expected by the title. I enjoyed the approach to looking at being zen and mindfulness with power and enthusiasm. It east fun to interact with the colors and quotes. I would recommend this in the summer or anytime you need stone fun color and wisdom!

"With this guided journal, you'll replenish your store of f*cks to give (...) You can page through it when life gives you f*cking cratefuls of lemons." -Ooh, that's where the cover came from!

This guided gratitude journal is a godsend for people skeptical of journals for a jillion of reasons:
- It maintains a relaxed tone; in other words, there's no pretending you're William Shakespeare.
- It's certainly young; we're talking journaling about memes.
- Every page is different, good for people like me who get bored easily.
- It's PRETTY with a variety of colors and fonts.
- Has an instagrammable layout with entire pages of inspirational quotes.
- The prompts are more creative than other journals I've seen.

I really do believe it gives you results in the form of gratitude and overall satisfaction, even though it pretends to be a silly journal.

However, a word of caution is needed: perhaps it's obvious from the cover page, but there are A LOT of curse words inside. Perhaps too many, not necessary to achieve the desired result, but it's still an awesome present for yourself or a friend.

This is absolutely the perfect book for quarantine life! It's basically a journal with prompts that help remind you of 201 of the 'reasons to give a sh*t.' The book offers suggestions on ways to come up with tons of reasons the world is great (everything from times when strangers have offered acts of kindness to your favorite songs to dance to). It's well-organized so that you can complete the prompts without feeling too overwhelmed (it actually feels pretty easy to come up with 201 happy things this way). There are also some really inspiring quotes and fun graphics that make it a light read. It feels like it's aimed a little bit towards YA readers, but in reality, this would be good for anyone who needs a reminder that it's the small joys in life that make our time worth living.

This work/self-help book on to why to give a shit was funny and handy. I give too many shits, so a bit of guidance is always welcome.
The design of the pages were colourful and fun. You have more than enough space to write things down. It is fun to get and do yourself, or buy it for a friend as amusing gift.

Journalling is one thing that can really help during stressful times, like the current pandemic climate. This is the perfect journal for the occasionally vulgar person who just needs to destress.

I always wanted to have a habitual journaling practice, but oftentimes I feel at a loss for what I can write about. This book offers prompts that are helpful in not only getting a journaling habit going, but also helps with daily gratitude!

This journal was very fun to explore, filled with many interesting prompts and questions, that guide the reader towards internal reflection. It's also filled with beautiful illustrations, inspirational quotes, and fun graphics that really make it stand out.

This is a useful book with helpful ideas and positive messages. However due to be on lockdown at the moment I will have to wait until this is over to carry out some of the ideas.

F*cks to Give is the sassy version of a gratitude journal. It is a fun, engaging and light-hearted way to think about the blessings in your life and to be more grateful. The book is filled with beautiful, colorful illustrations, thoughtful quotes and interesting tasks that make you think.

This book is perfect during this difficult time and helps you see the silver lining in things. The best part is, that you can flip through the book and start at any page and fill out what speaks to you that day.

This book would also make a great gift (for someone who does not mind colorful language).
