"As a “good girl” all my life, I’ve had a serious love affair with Perfect. It’s hurt my family, compromised my health, and been a major barrier in my relationship with God. Amy sets “good girls” like me free by exposing the lies we believe, the pride that isolates us, and the misguided priorities that often drive us. She also guides the girls who wear a mask of perfection because they think they’re never “good enough,” and she points us all to a Savior who fills our longing to be loved--perfectly.”

– Melinda Means, Speaker and Co-author of Mothering from Scratch

"If you’ve ever secretly considered a trial separation from perfect, this is your chance. Breaking Up with Perfect is the essential remedy for women who wrestle with any degree of perfectionism and long for authentic freedom. Amy Carroll shares poignant stories and insightful truths that will help women slam the door on perfect and never look back."

– Julie K. Gillies, Author of Prayers for a Woman's Soul

"Before I read Breaking Up with Perfect I didn’t think I struggled with perfectionism. But I was convicted—in a good way--on every page. I do blame others when they buck my perfect plan. I do try to impress people and fit in at all costs. Not only was I convicted by Amy’s words, I was encouraged with God’s truth and equipped to leave this façade behind once and for all. Thank you, Amy, for freeing us from lies of perfectionism and setting us on the crooked, rambling path that is real life."

– Amy Lively, Speaker and author of How to Love Your Neighbors without Being Weird
