I’m so glad I picked this one up on here.
It’s got such beautiful quotes.
It’s a little self help/positivity book with lots of mantras and advice which I really loved.
It had some really cute interactive pages as well so it would be a really fun pyhsical Book.
The quote pages would also make lovely prints.
Overall this one was really beautiful and uplifting.

This is a very interactive self-help book guiding you on your journey to reclaiming your life and becoming the person you have always wanted to be. I loved the journal prompts! They helped focus my writing.

This book is perfect for anyone who is looking to blossom. It is the perfect place to start your journey of becoming happy, balanced, and self-knowledgeable. It has numerous prompts tackling different facets of one's personality. It helps you navigate your self-image, confidence, self-worth, boundaries, commitment and so much more. It would take at least a couple of months for me to absorb and apply everything that's in this book, but change can be identified in a much shorter period of time. If you want to start being gentle, understanding, and calm, to yourself, this is the book for you.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* really great guide/workbook, would love to have this as a hard copy (the ebook was easy to use as well i just enjoy having the physical copies of workbooks)

This book is brilliant for those who love journals and already have an insight into self love. I adored the layout of this book it was so nice and crisp and bright colours with an amazing spaces to fill in your answers to the questions or prompts. I got this book as I have little understanding of the concept and really wanted to learn more about it to help improve my mood. However,  due to my lack of knowledge I found this book didn't fully explain it in a way a beginner might need or just this beginner didn't fully understand what it wanted me to write. It does have examples but I couldn't grap it. Maybe its just me and you would understand it better. I always suggest you try a sample of the book first as it could really work and help you. It could really be an autistic thing for me. If you already have an understanding on the subject then this book would be perfect for you.
Many thanks to the author and publishers for producing this beautiful and very useful guide to help improve peoples mood and to better understand ourselves.

Wonderful journal to help focus on healing and focusing on taking care of yourself. The graphics are pretty. Highly recommend.

Inspiring and bittersweet. The first page was really fitting with what I am going through and it just made me bawl. It may sound weird but at that moment, it felt like the book understood where I'm coming from and it's there to listen and help. This is handy book to have for meditation and as an aid in journaling.

The illustrations are lovely and the quotes are... interesting. The cover is what drew me to the book so I was a little surprised with how the contents were. I expected the content to be a bit more uplifting and along the lines of a self-help book.

Due to the journal prompt type sections, I think the cover the book could be modified to mention the same.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read an early copy of this book. While I did not access the download in time, I was able to get a sense of the book by reviewing the Amazon sample. This is a charmingly laid out workbook that goes letter by letter with various self-love ideas, first an overview and then a specific prompt followed by a few lined pages for writing. Due to the workbook format I'd recommend this book be purchased as a physical rather than digital copy.

This book has beautiful illustrations and warm and inviting options to participate in writing and reflection. You can work through the book in any order that works for you. The writing is lovely and encourages kindness to oneself. I'd like to order a physical copy to work through on paper in the future.

Godfred did a lovely job of selecting the words and phrases for each letter of the alphabet. The contents of the book, the structure and the information provided was well-rounded and applicable.

I am a fan of her work and have been since I read her Self Love Poetry book a few months ago. I plan to follow her for future releases. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an advanced copy of this text.

THE ABCs OF SELF LOVEbyMELODY GODFRED @melodygodfred .
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The ABCs of Self Love is an amazing workbook for everyone. The book works through the alphabet from letter A to Z and focuses on one topic per letter. Each topic has an exercise to do and pages to write on within the book. The information, structure and contents of this book is amazing and I'd love a physical copy to work through and keep at some point in the future.
Each page is beautifully illustrated, warm and inviting and I found it helpful, supportive and encouraging.
This would make a beautiful gift for anyone and is certainly a book to treasure. The beauty if this book is you don't have to start at the beginning and work through - you can start at any point that takes your fancy and go backwards or forwards in any order you like .

Full disclosure, I did not work my way through this book. I received a copy of The ABCs of Self Love as an eARC through NetGalley. I only read through the book. With that being said, I can safely say I love everything about this workbook.

I am a 27 year old woman who is barely hanging on to the hot mess express: we are medicated and barely making it most days. As you probably assumed, I have some experience with self help books. A lot of these self love books feel very preachy or from sources that do not seem approachable. This one feels very real and authentic, in my opinion. Godfred makes you laugh and makes you cry as you look inward and it feels like she's holding your hand along with way because she's been there, and now she's helping you through it. I also appreciate so psychological theories mentioned, so you can tell that she did in fact do her own homework.

It was beautiful to look at, the set up of the pages was fun and unique, and it gave adequate space to actually work through the book. Ya girl is long winded, especially when trying to express myself. The doodles added enough levity and joy to the workbook, but did not take away from the overall message and theme. I enjoyed reading through it so much, I am actually going to purchase a copy for myself to work through this year.

A decent workbook of things from A to Z of things to look at. Gives space and prompts after each letter to do the activity relating to the word/phrase. Lined pages at end if want more space is nice.

What a way to end this year.
I was super excited to read this book as I loved her last book, "Self Love Poetry".

This book is much more interactive and really encourages you to really think about how you think and if you naturally lean more towards more positive or negative thinking first.

The book talks about all aspects of self love including cutting out negative people and influences from your life, how to amend your thinking so that you're kinder to yourself, the dangers of comparing your life to social media, and challenges you to be honest and to really dig deep.

Each letter of the alphabet focuses on a different area and the one that resonated with me the most was R - rest. I have a stressful job with long hours and rest is something that's really important for me. I try to enjoy my life outside of work as much as possible, but sometimes it's hard as there's always other responsibilities that pile up, pushing much needed rest to the side. This is something I really want to work on.

Although I did enjoy the digital version of this book, I really want to get a physical copy of the book as well to try out the challenges. You could easily do them in a separate notebook, but there's so much space and so many templates already in the book that I feel to get the most out of it, getting a physical copy would be more beneficial.

I would also have loved to have seen more poetry just sprinkled throughout the book. Just because I enjoyed her poetry so much in her last book. 😊

Overall, this was a great book to reset with at the end of the year. I'm already looking forward to seeing what else Melody Godfred brings to us in the future.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I loved how this was a combination of book and journal. Each letter of the alphabet has a word and narrative accompanying it, but then the pages following offer space for the reader to reflect and respond to prompts. Plus the illustrations are fun!

This book should be required reading for anyone in need of a self love recharge .

I liked the way it was written and the way it allowed me to engage with the book and self. This book is a blessing and I highly recommend it. A huge thanks to the publisher for my complimentary copy

I was instantly hooked in the first few paragraphs. The experiences she starts out with are similar to the situations I have experienced. As she continues, our situations seem to go off on different paths but how refreshing to see it written out so perfectly.

The book is written in stories and experiences and offers guidance and direct approaches.

Always remembering to love yourself first. It may be difficult and it may feel like you're setting yourself back, but when you know, you know.

I thought this book was great, useful in that I loved that it prompted you to write your own thoughts and feelings down.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

LOVED loved loved this book.

The writing had me captivated from the start to finish, and I found myself reading it almost straight through one sitting. I look forward to reading more by this author.

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.
