This book came exactly when I needed it. I felt like I was heard and that someone got it and knew the feelings that I always held inside. Thank you Kait for putting everything I was feeling into words and for putting something out into the world that I believe is so truly needed <3
This was just ok. A little on the cringy side. I love Kait from Geart od Dating and have even participated in some of the conferences. So I really wanted to love thos book. It just fell flat for me.
Kait Warman's words speak to the heart in her first book! Her honest reflection is both relatable and inspiring. This book is not only for the heartache of rejection that comes with romantic relationships but for every area of your life where you have ever felt you were not seen, understood, or worthy. The shadows of past rejections are illuminated and enveloped in love, beauty, hope, power, and purpose. Kait’s vulnerability, truthfulness, and courage are spoken like a best friend as she shares personal stories, discoveries, and actionable steps. Follow from chapter to chapter her journey in learning to grow and shine. It will give you hope to heal from past hurts and to move forward to flourish in your relationships.
Discover the book that you have been waiting for that you will want to gift to your friends too. Grab your favorite journal and pen! Perhaps you can even start a book club! You are not alone!
Some favorites: "Remember these things, Ask these things and Do these things" sections at the end of each chapter. So practical and life-giving!
I was not able to finish this one, as I did not agree with many of the author's statements both in her writing and on her social media. I respect her and her journey and message, there are just some points of theology that I find lacking in conviction of truth. I look forward to seeing how this author progresses in the future.
This book is amazing! When I heard about this book, I was very interested. I joined Kait Warman's launch team and it was one of the best decisions I have made this year! Her book is very helpful in regards to identifying what one goes through with rejection and how to deal with it! She even has areas in each chapter that you can work on stuff with yourself to help you go even deeper into your feelings and issues that you have when dealing with rejection. She even writes in summaries so you can remember what you just read! I love how she says that rejection can be a positive thing and it is so true! This book is not boring it is very helpful guide. Kait Warman writes from her own experiences and tells how she overcame them. I liked this because I realized that I am not the only one who has felt these things. I would recommend this book to small groups in women church groups, book clubs, individuals, etc. I think this book is a great resource for women everywhere.
There were a few storylines that really spoke to me and left me with an aha! moment, but overall the tone was way too "hey girlfriend!!!" for me. Each time she included a silly line to sound buddy-buddy with the reader (which happened every few pages), she lessened the power of whatever point she was trying to make. I like the idea of the book and the message it's trying to make, and would say that the author offered a unique viewpoint that I don't see others making/publicly sharing, but it could have been much stronger. I was also thrown by how many guys she dated... each story features another guy and another break-up. It was hard to keep track.
Anyone else become overwhelmed by the number of books in their TBR pile? 😂🙋♀️
This weekend I attended a virtual conference hosted by Kait Warman who wrote “Thank You for Rejecting me”. I’m about 65% of the way through it and I’ve already learned so much! The book is about learning to live with rejection and put a positive spin on the impact rejection has had, and will continue to have, on your life.
Kait states that the book will teach you to “turn pain into purpose, fight for yourself, turn rejection into redirection, love yourself more intimately and transform your story into victory.”
For attending the conference I also received Outdated by JP Pokluda. This novel promises to teach me how to date well. I need all the help I can get in this area, am I right ladies?
This book is a book that I needed to read. I really struggle with self-rejection and perfectionism. They can be huge downfalls in my life. This book talked about these topics with such grace and such honesty. Kait was not afraid to share her heart and struggles to help others through these same struggles. Kait shares so much about so many different kinds of rejection and the grace, love, and hope that God showers us with through all kinds of rejection. This book is a must-read and one of my favorite books of the year. If you have gone through any rejection or are in the middle of rejection, this book is for you.
Thank You for Rejecting Me by Kait Warman is a non-fiction title sharing stories from the author's life on rejection and how it has shaped her life and shares tools for dealing with rejection in your own life. The book tackles a variety of topics such as body insecurity, sexual shame, heartbreak, failure, betrayal, and FOMO. At the end of each chapter a summary and bulleted list of actionable items is outlined to help recap the material throughout the book.
The tone throughout the book is vulnerable and realistic. The author admits she does not want you to have energetic motivation but instead be at peace that you can handle any rejection that comes your way no matter what. The writing is easy to read and is like the author is talking to you like a friend. The stories throughout paint a clear scene such as the the anecdote about not feeling comfortable on the beach in your swimsuit. I really felt Kait's stories throughout the book in such a way that I felt like the anecdote was actually about me. The book comes from a Christian lens so many of these situations are related to God's plan and intent for your life so this would not likely connect with non-religious people. However I appreciated that the author was not fat-phobic or judgmental at all in this book and instead was incredibly compassionate. Overall this was an enjoyable and revealing read that I plan on returning to when struggling with self-compassion.
Many thanks to the publisher Baker Books and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.
If you need a book to help you regroup and reset after a rough season - Look. No. Further.
Kait uses a wonderful blend of humor, humility and honesty to walk through all the rejection we face with charm and familiarity. We all face some form of rejection, whether it is in a romantic relationship, a job, family, or even the most important, but very overlooked, self-rejection. Kait willingly uses her experiences to showcase Biblical truths and useable tools to reframe rejection into blessing and opportunity. You won’t regret becoming Kait’s new bff as she joins you in your journey through the many faces of rejection in your life, and celebrates with you on the other side!
