Description
Good wives don’t fall in love with other men. That's what Amber Rae told herself when, in the midst of building a home with her husband in Mexico, she met the man she knew she was meant to spend the rest of her life with.
Maybe in another life, she thought. But the truth was, for years, she smiled and strived her way through a sexless and lonely marriage, never admitting her unhappiness to anyone—not even to herself. She thought that if she just tried harder, everything would fall into place. But as the voice inside her grew louder, she realized she had two choices: keep pretending everything’s fine and her needs don’t matter, or confront everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and her own limits.
LOVEABLE is a raw and intimate journey of a woman breaking free from the roles that confined her. This memoir isn't about trading one life or one man for another—it’s about the painful, beautiful process of coming home to oneself. And this isn't just Amber’s story―it's a rallying cry to stop being good so you can start being free.

Christina I, Reviewer
Initially, I came from a place of judgement when I began this book, because I couldn’t separate the necessary actions she took to end her marriage and the happiness I feel in my own. Her actions felt unfathomable and detached to me initially. However, once I was able to give space (and my god I’m so happy I did!) and lean into Amber’s own need for happiness and freedom, this book really spoke to me and I could appreciate Amber’s bravery in revealing the hard stuff and the work she had to do to be free.
There are so many great nuggets regarding abuse, harmful parental relationships, and generational trauma and impact. Her revisiting her childhood trauma throughout to inform her romantic relationships and the lead up to who she is as an adult was so poignant. I felt for her, related to her so deeply in these moments, and couldn’t help but root for her happy ending not only with John but with herself.
Less than 300 pages and short, quick chapters. It is beautifully spiritual with easy, approachable writing. It is wild how it all unfolds, but real, raw, and honest. Can’t recommend it enough!
