Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar

​

This memoir was a surprising read. While the Duggar exploits are widely reported and known, the individual Duggar "children" often seem to get lost in the considerably bigger picture. Jill's unique perspective of the on- and offscreen exploits shapes a very different picture. 

Jill's book was both enlightening and encouraging, especially coming from an evangelical childhood. Regardless of where you fall into the religious spectrum, I think it's worth a read.

Counting the Cost: A Memoir by Jill Duggar - 271 pages

This book explores the relationship between Jill Duggar and her father Jim Bob Duggar from childhood through adulthood.  It also looks a little into her changing beliefs regarding religion.  

I found the book to an interesting look into Jill Duggar's life.  It documented the changing relationship with her father and how she believes their show changed that relationship.  I had also read her sister's Jinger Vuolo's book when it came out.  They were very different books as Jinger focused on the changes to her faith while Jill focused on her family relationships.  Both were great looks at behind the lives of a "celebrity" familly.
