Thanks to the publisher， via Netgalley， for an advance e-galley for honest review。Jana Kramer is one who I want to root for， and this is a heartfelt account of the first year after her divorce。 It obviously couldn't have been easy to do so in the public eye after co-writing a book with her ex about how they keep their marriage intact， but Kramer has clearly done a lot of work to get to the place she's in now where she seems confident and strong。 Kramer does a nice job of not slinging dirt or reh Thanks to the publisher， via Netgalley， for an advance e-galley for honest review。Jana Kramer is one who I want to root for， and this is a heartfelt account of the first year after her divorce。 It obviously couldn't have been easy to do so in the public eye after co-writing a book with her ex about how they keep their marriage intact， but Kramer has clearly done a lot of work to get to the place she's in now where she seems confident and strong。 Kramer does a nice job of not slinging dirt or rehashing tired ground and instead focusing on how she moved forward。 It's not earth-shattering， but it is a nice follow up。 。。。more

I have loved and followed Jana since her OTH days。 I love her music and all the movies she plays in。 I read Jana & Mike's first book， The Good Fight， when it came out。 I really rooted for them to make it， although if I'm being honest， I felt like it wouldn't last。 I don't want to make my review negative towards either side， so I will leave it at that。 This book， however， is Jana showing us how far she has come in the last few years since her divorce and the healing journey that she's been on to I have loved and followed Jana since her OTH days。 I love her music and all the movies she plays in。 I read Jana & Mike's first book， The Good Fight， when it came out。 I really rooted for them to make it， although if I'm being honest， I felt like it wouldn't last。 I don't want to make my review negative towards either side， so I will leave it at that。 This book， however， is Jana showing us how far she has come in the last few years since her divorce and the healing journey that she's been on to get to a healthy and happy place。 She deserves all the happiness in the world。 She deserves to be loved unconditionally。 She deserves to be treated with respect。 Her children deserve a happy， healthy， and loving home。 They deserve happy & healthy parents， even if that means that their family isn't under the same room。 I understand why Jana stayed for so long， but I'm proud of her for recognizing when enough was enough and it was time to end things。 She truly deserves so much better。 I'm glad she found Allan， and I pray they have a lifetime of happiness。 I can't wait to watch as Jana and Allan welcome their new baby boy， become a family of five with an upcoming wedding in 2024。 Jana knows her worth now， and I truly pray she never forgets it。Thank you， Netgalley and HarperCollins， for the e-ARC。 all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

I don’t typically rate memoirs but lets give credit where credit is due…Thank you to Netgalley for this very special arc。 I’ve always had a soft spot for Jana and with this book it only grew。 The honesty & emotion in every chapter of this book you can feel in a very deep way and I truly am in awe of JK’s growth as a human！ It’s like falling in love with the main character of a fiction book where you see her endure every hardship and trial life has to offer， lose herself and then make the ultimat I don’t typically rate memoirs but lets give credit where credit is due…Thank you to Netgalley for this very special arc。 I’ve always had a soft spot for Jana and with this book it only grew。 The honesty & emotion in every chapter of this book you can feel in a very deep way and I truly am in awe of JK’s growth as a human！ It’s like falling in love with the main character of a fiction book where you see her endure every hardship and trial life has to offer， lose herself and then make the ultimate comeback ❤️ 。。。more

I can only imagine how hard this book was to put out after the previous one being written with her ex and knowing that even though there was advice in that book， it didn’t work out for them。 I appreciate Jana’s vulnerability in this book， especially when it comes to addressing the previous book。 It can be hard to be honest and heal and move on， but it seems like Jana is well on her way to a more healthy path for her and her kids！ M fav quote: “you were not the same person a year ago。 You were no I can only imagine how hard this book was to put out after the previous one being written with her ex and knowing that even though there was advice in that book， it didn’t work out for them。 I appreciate Jana’s vulnerability in this book， especially when it comes to addressing the previous book。 It can be hard to be honest and heal and move on， but it seems like Jana is well on her way to a more healthy path for her and her kids！ M fav quote: “you were not the same person a year ago。 You were not the same person as six months ago。 Everything in life is just that 。 。 。 A chapter。” I think most people can resonate with that & this is the message that will stick with me after reading this one！Thank you NetGalley for eARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Thank you to #netgalley for the early access to this book。 After reading Jana’s first book with her ex， this book felt a lot more honest。 I appreciated the vulnerability she was willing to share in order for a clearer picture of her story to be depicted。

I have been a fan of Jana Kramer since her OTH days。 I have been rooting for her to find happiness and peace through all of the ups and downs since then。 I have listened to Whine Down for years， read The Good Fight， and followed her on social media， but for the first time in The Next Chapter I feel like I finally see Jana and not the persona of "Jana Kramer" that has been splashed on tabloid headlines。 This book is raw， real， and so relatable even for someone who isn't in the same circumstances。 I have been a fan of Jana Kramer since her OTH days。 I have been rooting for her to find happiness and peace through all of the ups and downs since then。 I have listened to Whine Down for years， read The Good Fight， and followed her on social media， but for the first time in The Next Chapter I feel like I finally see Jana and not the persona of "Jana Kramer" that has been splashed on tabloid headlines。 This book is raw， real， and so relatable even for someone who isn't in the same circumstances。 I found a lot of connection in the way she speaks about anxiety and her journey to self-love。 Bravo to Jana for doing the hard work and baring it all on the pages on this book so that others can learn from it。 This is a great read for women in their 30s and 40s trying to figure out how to balance it all， how to take care of ourselves， and everything else that comes in this stage of life。Thank you to NetGalley and HarperOne for the ARC of The Next Chapter。 。。。more
