Stop Believing the Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be

Girl, Wash Your Face is a self-help book that combines memoir, motivational tips, Bible quotations, and common-sense advice.

The book is structured around 20 lies that the author, Rachel Hollis, once believed about herself and how she overcame them.

Each chapter focuses on a specific lie, such as 'I'll start tomorrow' or 'I am defined by my weight,' and provides personal anecdotes and practical strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
