It's Gonna Get Messy: An Unfiltered True Story of Heartbreak, Healing, and Reinvention - Paperback

by Becca Eve Young (Author)

She built the life she was supposed to want. Then everything came crashing down.

A dear friend dies. Her marriage unravels. She's laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hits. Then, just when she thinks it can't get worse, she gets the call that her father has died.

Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experiences a supernatural encounter under the full moon that sets her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups to silent meditation retreats, psychedelic revelations, robberies, and mystical moments-this is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.

This isn't a story about fixing your life. It's about what happens when the fixing stops working.

Becca's journey is raw, hilarious, and a deeply human memoir that reads like fiction. What starts as a freefall becomes a wild quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. Told with spiritual sass, hard-won wisdom, and gut-punching honesty-this is for anyone who's ever felt lost in their own life and suspected there might be a wilder, truer version of it waiting. It won't hand you answers. It does something better-it helps you finally trust your own.

For fans of Glennon Doyle, Chelsea Handler, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Elizabeth Gilbert.
