Open Wide: A Radically Real Guide to Deep Love, Rocking Relationships, and Soulful Sex Hardcover – March 6, 2018

There is nothing new in this book that hasn’t been explored with greater erudition by others. I was willing to read this through because someone I love dearly recommended it, but it’s aimed at early 20’s lasses, maybe even late teens. A well-read 55 year old woman is going to roll her eyes a lot.Naming my vagina? Gladys? Sheila? Madge?Jade eggs? Bugger off.And as for the Goddess section - the author has done her research via Disney Princesses. Go look up the true history of Pocahontas before you say she’s someone to emulate.Look, I’m glad this info-lite is out there for young woman, but the book is repetitive, and one long ad for her previous book.

Melissa personifies love, hope, healing, and light. She is whip-smart, genuine, and soul-baring, and that is exactly what shines through when you crack open (wide...see what I did there? :) ) either of her incredible books. I first found Melissa in 2013, and I am so grateful to her for sharing her journey and truth with the intent of helping women find healing and vibrancy. She's been a beacon for me and has inspired me to fully commit to my own journey of healing. I jumped at the chance to watch her Open Wide video masterclass on her site (because of my raving, my husband asked me to send him the link so he can watch it!), and the obvious next step was to get my hands on the Open Wide book. It's damn soulful, practical, beautiful and will LIGHT. A. FIRE. UNDER. YOUR. REAR. to do the inner work, engage with her "inspo-actions," and dial up your "worthy-o-meter." This book is about making remarkable positive shifts not only in your relationships (with yourself & others) but in multiple areas of life. In the school of life, this should be required-reading.

This book is exceeding my expectations! I love her podcast and follow her on Insta, so I got myself a copy, and am finding it surprisingly helpful! I’ve done a TON of inner work (I’m a transformational life coach and podcast host), so I found myself approaching this book with a bit of skepticism, because it is deceptively simple at times. BUT, I’m actually super appreciating how simple and comprehensive it is because the simplicity makes it so much easier and more likely that I’ll actually read it and do the things she suggests. I’ve started implementing some of these simple strategies in my life nand am blown away at how helpful it is. THANK YOU Melissa!!! I’m buying 10 copies to send to my bff’s!!! 😘☺️💕🔥✨ oh and I wanted to thank you because I heard your episode with Kirsty Wirth last summer and have been working one on one with her since August and it has been seriously game changing! She is amazing, and I’m so grateful to have found her through your show... woohoo! ☺️💕🔥

I'm a huge fan of Melissa's and have read her book "Mastering Your Mean Girl" multiple times. So when she announced that she has a new book coming out, I immediently went to Amazon to preorder it. It did not disappoint! It takes many of the ideas around self-love that she discussed in "Mastering Your Mean Girl" and expands on them. Adding in advice to also help improve your relationship with the world around you. Unlike a lot of self-help books, "Open Wide" is never preachy. It reads just like you're getting advice from your very wise BFF. I highly recommend it. And if you haven't read "Mastering Your Mean Girl" you should pick that up too.

I absolutely LOVED this book by Melissa. First off, I felt like I was having a conversation with a bff while reading the book. Melissa makes you feel so loved and worthy just by reading her book. It also has a lot of information in it that I personally have not studied or heard before re: Chakras, de-armoring, Moon cycles, etc. I really enjoyed learning about those things and also how to love myself and know that I AM WORTHY of love and joy and pleasure and SOULFUL SEX! Melissa has inspired me to continue my education in these areas and really live the best life I can! Thank you, Melissa! You are a dream!! xoxo

First of all, I'm obsessed with Melissa. I live in Boston and I've developed quite a good Australian accent from imitating her because I love her that much. This book has helped me in countless ways when it comes to self-development and how I approach the relationships in my life. I've carved out "me time" each day and I honestly see such a difference in my mood and overall outlook. I also never realized how much my "inner mean girl" was taking over my thoughts! Thank you, thank you, Melissa for shining your light into my life and the countless other lives you touch. <3

Seriously. I’ve read this book several times over, it’s my encyclopedia for all things high vibe and inspiring. There’s no fluff to this book. It’s packed with amazing ideas, encouragement, and tangible action steps to take to unleash the wildly wealthy and vibrantly healthy version of you. I’ve recommended this book to all my girlfriends!

Ever read a book & think, “Yep...we’re best friends now” without even knowing each other?! Maybe it’s the name, but I’m guessing it’s because Melissa wrote this book like you were sitting down having a conversation with your bestie. I was tempted to head straight to the end for the “good stuff” but the entire book, beginning to end was “the good stuff” and I couldn’t put it down! Every woman NEEDS to read this & then pass it onto your BFF. Thanks Melissa for your openness, honesty & the reality check I needed!

Pour a cup of tea and dive deep into this beautiful book! Vulnerability connects us and this book is so authentic and real.I hope this book will reach every girl/woman in this world! Self-worth and self-love is something I always like to read about and Melissa remains my absolute favourite author on this topic!It will elevate your relationship with yourself and others, awakens your femininity and help you close doors behind relationships that don't serve you anymore and prepares you open wide for new ones. Each one of you will relate!

I’ve read this book in a few days. I’ve been doing a lot of work on myself past years, but this book open my eyes and soul to a next level. I love the honestly and the soul and sex topics the most as they are talked about the least in this society. Melissa shares a lot of her own experience which is really helpful to understand the topic and choose for myself what I want to do. I read it so quickly and wanted to know more and more that I haven’t done all the expertises, but the ones I did were massively helpful and I’ve really just started. Very exciting... thank you Melissa and please keep sharing,, x

I loved this book. I don’t often recommend books and don’t generally share my own copies but as soon as I finished this I gave it to my niece who is in her twenties. It has definitely opened me up so I can be filled and there was a noticeable change in my demeanor. Wish I had this knowledge decades ago and I will re-read the boom periodically and give it to relatives who are coming into adulthood.

Great book from start to finish. I couldn't put it down. Great for both those new to personal growth work and those who have been on the journey. Practical action steps included. Really loved this book and melissas podcast.

This book is an amazing, Melissa explains everything so clearly that everything just clicks. I couldn't put it down! A great insight to relationships, I have found so many helpful tips that I have applied in my own friendships and marriage. Highly recommend this book to everyone. Its like having a conversation with a girlfriend.
