Synopsis

From world traveler, entrepreneur, and content creator @DearAlyne, a vulnerable and hilarious memoir of how she escaped the restrictive expectations of her family and faith and found herself in the process.Alyne Tamir was raised to live her life for others: for her husband, her family, and the Mormon church. For twenty-five years, she put them ahead of herself, repressing things that didn’t fit the neat, traditional story that had been written for her. On the surface, her life seemed picture-perfect. But in reality, Alyne was miserable, struggling to reconcile her flawless image with the pain and humiliation of abuse, an eating disorder, infidelity, and depression.Until Alyne reached a breaking point: the day her husband asked for a divorce—over email. Thank God! Or, not God. Finally free from the expectations of her family and faith, Alyne had to start a new life, which meant rediscovering herself and what she secretly wanted all along: the liberating life of a digital nomad.In a singular voice brimming with honesty and humor, Alyne invites us on a journey of strength and self-discovery—with a little bit of irreverence along the way. Dear Alyne is a one-of-a-kind, coming-of-age story and a testament to the limitless possibilities that await those brave enough to defy convention.

4.0 stars! I listened to this book on my commutes and honestly? It made me excited to get in the car (which says a lot). I’ve been following Alyne since about 2017 and loved getting a deeper, unfiltered look into her life, especially all the messy, honest, very real stuff that doesn’t make it to Ins......more

Goodreads review by Anna on July 26, 2025

This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. From the very first page, I was hooked. Alyne is hilarious, sharp, and wickedly smart — but what truly blew me away is her raw, unfiltered vulnerability. She says the things most of us are too afraid to even admit to ourselves. I genuinely laughed out lo......more

Goodreads review by Simara on June 16, 2025

Alyne’s story is a story of religious trauma, overcoming it and finding yourself. I found it fascinating since my knowledge of Mormonism is close to none. The effects of religion in women can be pretty harsh. Overcoming that message of purity and living a certain way all your formative years has a l......more
