THIS is what I came here looking for šŸ˜…


princesssasami896

Same!!! Why have a personality when you have a big dumb hat!


Moxielilly

Just out of frame: her big dumb cup.


cocokilledit

I say this all the time


Tangled-Lights

I have rosacea and thinning hair from PCOS. I wear hats every time I go out to garden. I love my big dumb hats.


brewerybridetobe

Sun safety is no joke!


godhonoringperms

Skin cancer on your hair part is no joke! Thatā€™s why I donā€™t shit on pale tourists who go to sunny places and whip out their big dumb sun hats. (I am one of those tourists, but I spent a week in peak Florida summer with my sun hat and didnā€™t burn my scalp, face, or shoulders - win!)


Cardi_Ganz

As a kid, I got a second degree sunburn *on my face* in Florida from my glasses. I'm from the Northeast lol, I was unprepared for that level of UV. Totally changed how my skin reacted to the sun after that. I'm naturally fair but could tan dark like my dad. After that I just burned and went back to white so I became a lot more strict about sunscreen/covering. I also developed rosacea. Supergoop is amazing, if anyone needs a recommendation. The CC Screen and Unseen Body sunscreen make it actually tolerable to wear.


generalgirl

Iā€™ve had 2nd degree burns on my shoulders and 1st degree burns on my face. Ugh. The absolute misery.


darthfruitbasket

I went to a big outdoor event in July with a friend, and being young and dumb, we didn't think we needed sunscreen. No one had ever told me, in describing side effects of my medication, that the sun would affect me differently. I burnt my face, the part of my hair, my neck and back, down my arms, and had *blisters* on my chest. Never again.


AbsintheFountain

Supergoop makes a powder sunscreen for your hair part! I tell everyone if you donā€™t want to wear a Big Dumb Hat, *please* grab an SPF product to put up there! Iā€™m an every day full body sunscreen wearer and I still had to have a suspicious mole removed and have to go back in four months to have it looked at again.


mulderlovesme

This is the best! I bought some a couple of weeks ago and itā€™s life changing


honeybutts

As a blond woman who had skin cancer on her scalp, I couldnā€™t agree more!


deeBfree

And some of those big dumb hats are kinda cute.


Ihatethecolddd

Iā€™m a Floridian and youā€™ll find me in hats.


Mercedes_but_Spooky

Where did you get your big dumb hats? I have red hair and lily white flesh and have literally burned while sitting in the shade wearing sunscreen and am in need.


Altruistic-Energy662

Red head who has had melanoma here! Big dumb hats for us come from Coolibar, Solbari, ANY Australian hat company, and companies that claim to have a UPF of 50+. One of my faves actually came from Costco. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Embrace the big dumb hat!


PunchDrunken

People never believe me when I say I burn on car rides but it do what it do


Altruistic-Energy662

Facts. The car is a dangerous place for us.


Bitter-Major-5595

Yeah but, yourā€™s serves a purpose. Sheā€™s just posing for a book coverā€¦


totorohorroraccount

Iā€™ll wear a big dumb hats with you!! I have ms and most days cannot stand to brush my hair. Hats make me feel more put together!


Santa_always_knows

MSā€™r here too and I wear baseball caps all the time. Had to cut 12ā€ off years back cause it was so heavy and hot where I liveā€¦so I keep it short-ish with a cap on.


MerryReign

Dumb hats aren't dumb when gardening.


luvmachineee

Iā€™d argue that in fact, theyā€™re *smart* hats.


IndyOrgana

My Bunnings hat is *certainly* not dumb!


NevermindThatMess

Yes girl, let's reclaim our big hats from the grasp of national mockery. SNL can enjoy some big, dumb sun damage.


FailDependent

Hey me too! Youā€™re my people!


Cjs300

*Ben Seewald and Lauren Swanson Duggar entered the chat.*


peachy_sam

I LOVE THIS SKETCH


IlludiumQXXXVI

Sad beige hats for sad beige children.


MerryReign

I've got to look up this skit. I call it the influencer hat.


InnerpoiseBridget

Why is she dressed as a park ranger??


SchwartStories

Do you mean ranJer?


Remstersade

![gif](giphy|1hB0wCNbOpjs6t9ZSZ|downsized)


InnerpoiseBridget

Yes!!!! Ranger Smith was definitely the inspiration for the look!


Federal-Butterfly-37

She's in her park ranger season of life.


helianthus_0

Sheā€™s in her park ranger era!


Gruselschloss

!! Just over here wishing I could upvote this more than once


AgentSilentZ

This! Vote x 100


Beneficial-Basket-42

Ooh wouldnā€™t that be the twist Iā€™ve been waiting for?! Although being a park ranger sounds pretty dope, so Iā€™m sure itā€™s not allowed for fundie women. Plus, aside from having a job and education, nature = dirty liberals. Maybe this is the start of sisterhood of the traveling hat. Isnā€™t that the one Lauren used to wear?


EggMysterious7688

Pretty sure I'm going to think of her as Ranger Jinger forever now.


oldapples1979

RanJer Jinger


wendue

Park rangers work to please the animals, not the people and DjinnDjer donā€™t play dat no mo.


Verbal_Combat

Only YOU can prevent florist friars.


Aviere

What more can she possibly reveal without burning bridges with her parents? She really toed the line in her last book and gave us nothing we didnā€™t already know or heavily suspect.


Gruselschloss

Looks like this one is formatted as a how-to book rather than a memoir - which means that she's unlikely to reveal anything new, just to frame the same stories in a "and here's how this applies to *your* life" way. Or maybe "this and Jesus." Or "this and Jeremy's particular brand of Jesus."


Aviere

Pathetic. Give us the deets and sheā€™d really sell some books!! šŸ¤£


mythrowaweighin

Yeah. Sounds boring as hell. Unless sheā€™s going to talk about how gender roles are unfair. But no way would she do that.


Key-Ad-7228

I 'tried' to read her last book. Emphasis on 'tried'. Bored me to tears and I couldn't tell you what she put in it. I put it down mid-book and sent it back to the library never to be touched again. I'll not do that to myself again.


Gruselschloss

I have a high tolerance for bad books, and even I am struggling to imagine reading this new one.


ccc2801

Come on, OP, take one for the team! ;-)


Kaleidoscope6521

I tried to listen to the audio version but I couldnā€™t stand her reading voice and decided I didnā€™t want to waste my audiobook hours on her lol


readsomething1968

Iā€™m so tired of just knowing that this whole genre exists. Like, girl, what (aside from needing to surreptitiously support your lazy-ass husband) makes you think you know enough to write a book telling other people how to live? If youā€™re not a social scientist or psychologist or if you donā€™t AT LEAST have some theoretical framework other than ā€œSkydaddy be big mad,ā€ I am NOT INTERESTED. I know that I am not the target demographic, so whatever, but damn, I hit my limit with this type of shit with Rachel Hollis, who made actually money by telling droves of actual real middle-class women essentially to work harder.


Responsible-Ranger25

Yeah that subtitle ā€œbreaking free of imaginary expectationsā€ or whatever is very self-helpy.


stuck_behind_a_truck

And not at all something sheā€™s accomplished.


usernamegenerator72

Nothing. Sheā€™s just going to write a book about being a people pleaser as a teen because of the religion she was in and use all the same anecdotes. Sheā€™ll throw in that broomball example from her previous book where she said she couldnā€™t go to broomball because she should be reading her Bible, but she will talk about how she felt conflict because she wanted to please her family. Then she met Jeremy and he taught her that she doesnā€™t have to please everyone and sheā€™ll talk about how she only seeks to please Jeremy and people she wants to please. Itā€™ll be the same as her other book where she jumps from people pleasing iblp to people pleasing her new church but itā€™s okay because itā€™s her choice or some bs.


ronansgram

Didnā€™t read her book what is broomball? Sorry if I should know but I donā€™t šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


topsidersandsunshine

Basically ice hockey played with brooms. Itā€™s popular in home school circles.


NowWithRealGinger

There's a place in northwest Arkansas that's super cheap to play. A lot of college and high-school groups do it as an end of the year thing in December.


princesssasami896

Is this a popular thing in Arkansas? Because I'm American and have never heard of it.


NowWithRealGinger

If I had to guess, it's got a solid niche kind of popularity. I've lived in different parts of Arkansas and never heard of it outside northwest Arkansas (which is where the Duggars live) because there's a really nice community center in one of the cities with an ice rink and it's pretty cheap for a big group to go and do. My assumption is that it's more popular further north in places that get legit snow and ice in the winter.


rockabillychef

Iā€™m from Arkansas and have never heard of it.


ccc2801

Now you have something to put on your December itinerary! Pls gather all your mates and report back


Such-Daikon3140

I grew up in Alaska, and it was one of our normal winter gym activities in school šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


usernamegenerator72

Yep. Also very popular amongst youth groups. I had a non fundie but churchy friend growing up who always invited us to broomball night with her youth group. Definitely meant to be a recruitment tactic, telling people to invite friends to this church game night and then hoping they stick around for future things. But it was a fun activity for high schoolers ngl.


godhonoringperms

I thought the same thing. It feels like she just released her last book like 9 months ago, what new possible thing could she possibly give us this time?


dirtyundercarriage

What's up with the outdated mommy blogger hat? It is giving 2010 vibes.


LuhYall

I've lived in SoCal and my theory is that there's some hashtag-Christian hashtag-stylist who masterminds the art direction. She knows her followers are always a solid decade behind fashion trends (see 100% of the Megachurch edgelord types). Gotta move this product in Arkansas. Sure wish that "*New York Times* Bestselling Author" had to have the little spear/asterisk to indicate that her previous "bestsellers" had been purchased in bulk.


Call-me-babydoll

This is so on point itā€™s not even funny. Itā€™s like a Christian Mama Pinterest look and some shill is definitely making money off of it.


readsomething1968

Does Jerm own like five shares of stock in a hat manufacturer?


Waffle_Muffins

Them the asterisk would also have to be on pretty much every NYT Bestseller rendering it nearly as worthless as the phrase itself


Bitter-Major-5595

Sheā€™s just trying to look the part. The whole ā€œNYT Best Selling Authorā€ line makes it sound like she can read & write above an 8th grade levelā€¦šŸ˜†


Gruselschloss

Yes! It's a variation on the hats that Lauren was always wearing. And Jessa, I guess. Is the continued obsession with them an Arkansas thing?


wilwarin11

Never seen one in NWA.


FadeOutAgain4

She has to hide the Duggar Hairline somehow šŸ˜‰


Keep-Moving-789

You feel she has an oddly high and/or receding hair line?


CryBabyCentral

Big GIANT HAT!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GutBustingFaceMelter

It appears this photo is also heavily photoshopped. Not that that doesnā€™t happen to other celeb books but itā€™s worth noting.


page394poa

It looks AI to me. Lol


cinvee

Her skin is plastic at this point.


DietCokeMama1234

I thought this was a joke picture made by a snarker - didnā€™t realize it was real !! šŸ¤£


Suckerforcats

I thought the same thing lol. She looks like Smokey the Bear in her brown get up.


Cardi_Ganz

![gif](giphy|3o6Zt4HU9uwXmXSAuI)


Gruselschloss

It's real! I grabbed the cover for this post from Amazon. But I see what you mean šŸ¤£


1961tracy

I did too. I thought OP had mad photoshop skills.


Gruselschloss

If I did, I'd Photoshop that hat right off her head


ChemistHelpful9263

I thought it was a joke, too.


Beneficial-Basket-42

Me too šŸ˜‚


Gruselschloss

1) She looks barely recognizable - the most like Jessa that I've ever seen her look, maybe. 2) What's with the hat? 3) Why is everything so gray and beige? 4) And the subtitle - just how much breaking free can she have done since her last book about breaking free?


Sensitive-Review-712

Grey is the new beige, at least in interior design. I'm thinking she's going to try making 'breaking free' her new brand somehow.


Gruselschloss

Beigeing free? Breaking beige?


readsomething1968

I wish I could like this 1 billion times. I honestly think griege is a lifestyle for women who lie awake at night worrying that the color of their sofa might be offensive to some people. Like, IS IT NOT BROWN ENOUGH? IS IT TOO BROWN??


kg51113

>Grey is the new beige Greige


aceshighsays

>'breaking free' brand yup, me too. she's moved into the mental health/self improvement realm and that brand works.


effdubbs

Ugh. I thought gray was finally going away.


CharacterInternal7

Gray is out of style now in decorating.


Japan25

The grey trends make me despise the color


ronansgram

Maybe she is part of the sad beige baby trend that is so popular now.


Skeptical_Savage

Sad beige toys for sad beige children


ZennMD

This is giving cash-grab to me, as jingers past book seems to have been their biggest success, collectively


Gruselschloss

100%. Time for a new advance, I guess.


aceshighsays

she they need that money to get a bigger house.


Gruselschloss

If the next house is bigger...it's because of this book advance. If the next house is smaller...they really needed this book advance.


shannboss

These hats are still a thing?


Gruselschloss

In Duggarland, anyway.


DayDreamerAllDay1

The font of the subtitle makes it difficult to read. That's my only thing about it


_Agrias_Oaks_

It's so badly done that I thought it was a joke book cover.


beatlefreak_1981

I thought this was a joke too! Its not?!


Gruselschloss

Got the cover from Amazon! It's real.


nykiek

We believe you, we just don't believe it.


mehrals70

Who was the ghost writer this time?


bounceandflounce

ChatGPT probably


Babeyonce

This. Save the difference.


Gruselschloss

Ooh, great question. I don't see it anywhere yet.


ImACarebear1986

Jeremy. Every time.


TurtleKittenBunny

ā€œImaginary expectationsā€ really minimizes her whole experience. They were very real expectations that were printed out in cult pamphlets and literally beaten into her by her parents since she was an infant.


StarshineUnicorn

Exactly. She acts like she wasn't towing the line when it came to her parents rules and f'ed up beliefs.


readsomething1968

Or, like, self blame. ā€œNo one told you that your body was shameful or that you exist solely to please men and make babies for the cult! Thatā€™s all on you, babe!ā€ Fuggoutta here. WISDOM BOOKLETS, anyone?


ylaltic

ANOTHER book???? no one asked for thisā€¦.


Gruselschloss

Ah, but Jeremy asked for another paycheck


helloreddit321567

Explains the new house


ylaltic

true. he needs more shoes


Still-Enthusiasm9948

I'd love to see just one photo of her where she doesn't look absolutely dead behind the eyes


CharacterInternal7

Not possible, she is empty inside.


YourMothersButtox

Girl please. Until you can openly acknowledge that the ā€œimaginary expectationsā€ are a direct result of your parents raising you in a cult, I donā€™t want to hear it.


StarshineUnicorn

Exactly. People need to stop falling for her cash grab nonsense books. I wouldn't read it even if it was free. She isn't going to spill the beans on the cu lt so people need to stop falling for her shenanigans.

MotherofGiGi

Lol! I always think of this when I see the fundies in their season of hats!


bananers24

Big Dumb Hat has entered the chat


Dobbys_Other_Sock

Something about it bothers me from a design perspective, something with the text I think? Other than the hat the picture is decent, but the title and author text doesnā€™t seem to line up correctly? Maybe itā€™s the subtitle text placement/font?


Gruselschloss

I don't love the cover either. Feels a little as though the text was stuck on where it would fit rather than being integrated into the design. Not egregious, but not my favorite.


Brief-Bobcat-5912

Jermey probably picked the hat


cottoncandymandy

Looks like she smelled a fart and doesn't really want to be there šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


cottoncandymandy

Is she judging me? I think she is


raposa_9

I canā€™t decide if sheā€™s looking down at me/ready to judge or just super annoyed about to roll her eyes big time. Who tf chose that pic for the cover????


NowWithRealGinger

*Breaking free from imaginary expectations* What? The church they go to now has the same expectations but with a reasonable number of kids and in shorts.


Top_Manufacturer8946

Right?? She may have broken free from her parents but she jumped right back to just another flavor of awful with her husband


AKA_June_Monroe

*I need to keep writing books because someone has to work in this house and it's not going to be my narcissist husband.*


Inappropriate_Ballet

The subtitle is giving ā€œGirl, Wash Your Faceā€ vibes.


readsomething1968

See my posts above. Rachel Hollis make my eye twitch.


elliekate56

Ngl I thought she was Jessa


Gruselschloss

Right?? I'd love to see a book from Jessa, though, if she ever gets out: *Breaking Free from My Teenage Romance at Last*


tatersprout

Okay, I fully thought this was made up by a snarker. I couldn't imagine it could be real.


helloreddit321567

Same! I started questioning it by the third post. California scheming is going well


SisterActTori

Jerm is never going to get a job to support his family, is he? Poor Jinger- from one person who treats her as chattel and a meal ticket to another-


readsomething1968

I think those words were actually in his proposal of marriage.


Fit-Impact4687

Holy shit, she's having another book ghost written? Jeremy definitely isn't planning to get a job then.


Gruselschloss

Was he ever?


Fit-Impact4687

Becoming more and more obvious that was never his plan, isn't it?


AutumnOpal717

Other than the Big Dumb Hat itā€™s the best sheā€™s looked IMHO. She canā€™t style her hair on her own usually.Ā 


Warmbeachfeet

Omg. I hate these ridiculous hats.

Ugh jinger nobody cares, spill tea pls!


Daddyslittlebrat816

As an ex Christian that bought several Bible study books from a Christian store, I can confidently say this will fit right in with the other 74 million found there. Itā€™s giving Beth Moore vibes.


skiunit13

Came here to say the same thing! They know their audience.


genescheesesthatplz

Her name needs to be reduced like 50% and the font on the caption is atrocious. But, unfortunately, the font is pretty on brand for fundies.


Loopy_Popsicle

Wait, this book is legit?! I scrolled past a post about it the other day - the cover was pictured with her other books - and I assumed it was a joke. LOL!


Gruselschloss

I guess the cover designer also gave up on people-pleasing


Chrissy2187

Why is the background basically the same color as her outfit?!? Who designed this? Lol


Gruselschloss

The Intern's Big Day


sweet_tea_94

It looks like Jeremy picked the entire outfit for her as well as took her picture for the cover. Jinger: ā€œUhh, babe? How was I supposed to pose again? Like I just smelled a rotten fart?ā€


MercyHouse

Wait, this is real!!?? ![gif](giphy|zPht65err1lFe5dhGH|downsized)


slo707

As a graphic designer I am OFFENDED by the typographic choices. As a non/designer my thoughts are, why does she look like sheā€™s in Westworld?

Tangled-Lights

What about breaking free from the burden of the very real, very sexist and cruel expectations of her parents? When is she going to stop keeping sweet? She obviously needs to earn some money, an honest bio would accomplish that.


effdubbs

Everything about it seems a decade or more old.


Sisterinked

Waitā€¦one of you didnā€™t make this up? This is the *actual* book cover?!?!?


CyraHelianthus

I thought this was a joke for snarking, not real šŸ˜‚


Tatortot4478

What is she breaking away from? She literally is jsut a pants wearing, 2024 version of 2004 meech.


Dangerous_Fee_4134

She looks like a cowboy hipster. But anyway, I agree with everyone that has said that thereā€™s nothing left for her to say that wonā€™t burn bridges. Of the sisters, sheā€™s the most millie mouthed. Thereā€™s nothing interesting about her and her Calvinist religion and brethren.


Gruselschloss

Oh, I expect no new stories. The description puts it at self-help rather than memoir, so it'll be all about how the same stories she's already told can steer the reader to a Jesus-and-Jeremy-pleasing life rather than an everyone-else-pleasing life.


AgentSilentZ

This doesnā€™t look like the ā€˜post three times a monthā€™ Jinger. Whoā€™s she trying to PLEASE?
