Listening to The Girl Who Cried Love was such an emotional and eye-opening experience for me. As Lindsay’s friend, I thought I knew most of her story, but this audiobook showed me there was so much more. Some of it I had seen with my own eyes, but other parts were completely new—and honestly, some of them were shocking. Hearing her speak about those moments in her own voice made the impact even stronger.
What I admire most is her honesty. She doesn’t hold back on the pain, the heartbreaks, or the mistakes. But she also threads in her humor and resilience, which is so true to who she is. She takes those raw, heavy moments and turns them into lessons about self-worth, healing, and learning to love yourself for real.
And it’s not just about relationships. Sure, her story speaks directly to anyone who’s struggled in love, but the deeper message goes way beyond that. It’s about breaking cycles, finding your strength, and picking yourself back up when life knocks you down. Whether you’re dealing with heartbreak, self-doubt, or any other personal battle, there’s something in here that will resonate.
I’m so proud of Lindsay for sharing this side of her journey. It’s brave, it’s raw, and it’s the kind of story that reminds you you’re not alone—and that change is always possible.
This book was incredible in all forms of the word. Lindsay is brutally honest about her lived experiences. It was both a hard read to being empathetically connected to her trials and tribulations, but also so compelling I didn't want to put it down. Can't help but root for her as she's personally learning her own mistakes, toxic relationships and still strive for a happier more fulfilling life.
Not only was she learning through her experiences and imparting her growth and knowledge, I couldn't help but see my own similar struggles, faults, mistakes and desires for growth that she also strives to fulfill.
The closing chapters of her story is a take no prisoners, no bullshit, but filled will empathy and mercy reflection on self-worth and what we should all want for ourselves and our relationships. Not only for her readers, but for herself. She holds a mirror up to herself and asks the readers to look into the mirror she's holding up for us too.
If you have any sense of empathy, there will be parts that feel like a gut punch. If you have your own relatable stories, there will be heavy moments that will sting too. By the last page though, you will feel rejuvenated and inspired. You'll be left wanting to love more, love harder, love smarter. Not only in your relationship with others, but most importantly your relationship with yourself.

If you’ve loved and lost, you’re going to see yourself in these pages and if you’re hoping to get on the path to love, and WIN, then get into this book and get going!
Not only was I given the opportunity to read this book, I was given insight on my own life and decision making. There is a reason this girls motto is inspired AF....because her words are nothing short of that. I found myself reading every free second I had....and this is not an exaggeration. You will reflect on your past as well as think a little more about your future and living for yourself. This book really hits home and everyone will find a little of themselves throughout it. PHENOMENAL READ and very well written.
