Mallory’s book is an absolute must have! Each chapter in the book provides insight to Mallory’s past life, how she’s created her current life, and how others can adopt the Living Fully lifestyle. I devoured these pages because it felt like I was having a conversation with a good friend. She beautifully touches on topics that we try to hide not only from others, but from ourselves. I was called out, I was brought to tears, I was reassured, and I was encouraged through the journey of Mallory’s words. This book should be celebrated & it will be discussed in book clubs across America. Buy a copy for yourself, your mother, your sister, and all of your friends.

I follow Mallory on Instagram and just love her energy! She is always very straightforward but also carefree and fun. I understand her wanting to title this book 'Living Fully' as her life reflects that passion. However, as much as I enjoy her and her family, this book was not it for me. I read through it so fast because I felt it held no substance or interesting information. The book had some great stories about her experiences and I understood the message she was conveying but it felt too flat and repetitive.

I am thankful for the opportunity to have read it and hope it speaks to others who read it.

In Living Fully, Mallory takes life experiences she has had and shares her life lessons on it. It's not neccessarily a self-help book, but it helps you to look at yoyr life and see if you are living your life fully. She has some interesting life experiences which were more interesting to read about more than the life lessons she writes about.

I typically do not read a lot of "self help' Books because they feel very preachy and often make you feel bad for not being able to achieve something. Mallory does an amazing job of humanizing herself and giving the feeling of having life changing conversations with your bestfriend. She does not claim that their is some simple fix to our lives problems, but truly gives tangible advice for how to make long lasting changes to your life to live MORE FULLY. Mallory is a fantastic story teller and has a great background of adversity and perseverance that really just drags you into the story. There is something in this book everyone could use to make their life one that they are truly proud of everyday.

Mallory’s story and journey is one that many of us can relate to- marked by some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Mallory’s journey and strength, with a strong foundation built by her faith and family, are an inspiration. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is feeling a little lost or wants to further grow themselves as they live life to the fullest.

“To live a life is a gift we are given.
To live a full live is a gift we give ourselves.”
Although I appreciated the message in this book and the various stories, I was hoping for bold quotes, action steps, reflection questions, and other ways to see the connection in my own life.

What an inspiring tale about encountering challenges and trials in life only to dig into faith and find some perseverance. Mallory is a great writer, and I felt like she was writing this for her best friend. Thank you to NetGalley and Convergent Books for a copy of this book for an honest review.

I just finished ready Mallory Ervin’s book, Living Fully. This book is about some of Mallory’s major life issues and how she dealt with them. From her own personal struggles, her recovery and a family tragedy. This book pulls at your heart because you know someone or you are going thru some of the things Mallory did

Mallory did a fantastic job on this book and it almost felt like a conversation between friends. You can truly feel her love for life through the pages. Several sections stood out to me but especially this one.
“I also wrote it to inspire you to choose that bigger life even as you hear your old life constantly calling your name in the distance. And yes, that will happen. Your old life will, at times, seem easier, more comfortable, safer, and familiar, and it may even feel like it’s your true home. But it’s not.”
I’ve been a long time follower of Mallory and I am thankful I was able to read this ARC from NetGalley!

If you don’t already follow or love Mallory, you will fall more in love with her and her story with each turn of the page. What you see on Instagram is all this success but deep diving into the raw, realness and vulnerability that she has let her heart pour out into these pages you will know every ounce of that success is deserved.
Not only will you gain a greater respect for such a wonderful, talented young lady you will realize you are not alone in your own highs and lows of life. Everyone goes through their share of struggles and you too can live your life fully. Take lessons and moments from both someone else’s story and apply it to your own and you might find you have more in common than you think and you can apply lessons to your own struggles and find that you too can get through the hard stuff.
Grab some tissues and prepare to meet your new best friend within these pages.

Wow!! This book was an amazing experience and I think everyone needs to read it! It is far from a typical “self help” book. It has true stories from Mallory’s life and how she powered through the hard times. She offers countless amounts of encouragement on how to continue on living fully throughout your whole life. Mallory is such an amazing women and while reading her stories I was able to relate to almost everyone! This will be a book I will read several times! If you are looking for a great birthday gift for your girlfriend, sister, mom, and anyone else special in your life this is it. Everyone needs this book!!!

This book will help you live your life fully. Here are my six takeaways.

“There are times in our lives when the unexpected no is the exact right answer.” We do not like the “no”. But this “no” is vital. If we accept it, beyond this door is our “yes” to what life has to offer us, the life we are meant to live.

“Your old life will, at times, seem easier, more comfortable, safer, and familiar, and it may even feel like it’s your true home. But it’s not. You don’t belong there anymore.” We must move out of our comfort zone. That is how we grow and experience the fullness and excitement of life.

“By shifting our focus to what’s going right, we don’t get so stuck on what has gone wrong. And then we can be open to receiving guidance for what is the next right step after any obstacle.” As we celebrate our victories we gain confidence. This confidence propels us forward to even more victories.

“When we’ve detached from our individuality, we’ve lost an important aspect of who we are.” We must live from our true self: the person we are created to be.

“Each time I hear that tiny voice of fear muttering in the background, I act quickly to quiet it so my spirit can speak louder.” I practice centering prayer. This is a form of silent prayer. God prays in me during this time. I then get up from my sit and take action on the Spirit that speaks in me.

“I’ve come to believe there is a river of pure wisdom flowing through all of us. Our job is to acknowledge it, tap into it, and try not to block it.” This river of pure wisdom is God within us. When we tap into this river, nothing can stop us.

Highly recommended.

Reading Living Fully is like catching up with a good friend - you're left feeling uplifted, happy and you don't want the experience to end. Mallory Ervin is relatable, personal and candid as she shares her experiences with triumphs and failures, and lessons of living life to the fullest. This book will leave you thinking about it later and recommending it to friends.

This book is Great. A Fast Read and a different perspective of Mallory and her life. After reading this book you come away with just how to look at all the lessons in your life and how to use them to Live Fully.

It took me a while to start this book, because I was so afraid it would be the same as any other about living a full life. I was so wrong!. As I got fully immersed in the book, I got lost in living the stories she shared and found such brilliant insight, ways of seeing things I hadn't quite thought of before that I found myself re-reading and highlighting passages to remember. Or even sharing something with my sister and telling her you must read this book! I loved the book and will return to it again for the great memories and inspiration the author shared. Highly recommend.

To be honest, I had no idea who Mallory Ervin was, but I was interested in the ideas behind this book. As a full-time working mom, I'm always looking for ways to "better" my life. I found the concepts in this book both easy to follow and realistic. Mallory's stories are relatable and uplifting. I will definitely be looking more into Mallory!

Living Fully has hit so many emotions for me. As a wife and a mother, there are so many things in this book that I can relate to and I encourage everyone to read it. The meaning of Living Fully, is so much more that “living it up”. It is about having balance (which has a great story behind that word), being faithful to Jesus by not wavering, and not getting distracted by the noise that has a tendency to clutter our lives. Mallory has opened up and shared so many intimate details that have occurred throughout her life, that aren’t all rainbows and unicorns, but REAL. Many people will be able to relate to this book and possibly give them that extra push to start Living Fully. ❤️

I have patiently waited for this book to come out and it did not disappoint! I love Mallory and her down to earth personality and couldn’t wait to read her book. I truly enjoyed it. This is a book that you will definitely read more than once. I took so many notes and highlighted more than I have in any other book. Mallory thank you for sharing your journey with us, including the good, the bad and the ugly. You’re truly an inspiration.

This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I LOVE Mallory so much. She is so real, and I love following her on IG and her podcast. I thought this would be a little more memoir focused, but I loved the messages overall.
