Lauren Akins 'Pretty Scared to Be This Vulnerable with the World' in Upcoming Memoir Live in Love
Lauren Akins is going to be an author!
The star, who is expecting her third daughter with husband, country singer Thomas Rhett, will be releasing her first-ever book Live in Love — and PEOPLE is revealing the cover art!
“I never dreamed of having my story told in a book, but Live in Love is a window into my life from when I was a little girl until now,” Akins, 29, tells PEOPLE.
“If I’m being honest, I am really excited about this project and also pretty scared to be this vulnerable with the world. I am confident in my stories, my friends, my family and my faith which all make up my very real and very imperfect story of Live in Love,” she says. “I hope that through sharing my story, people from all walks of life can find themselves within the pages feeling related to, hopeful, not alone, inspired, and most of all — of course — loved.”

Akins will give readers a peek at what it’s really like to be “the perfect couple” fans imagine, and what it actually takes to live in love, stay in love, and grow together.
The soon-to-be mom of three has been by her husband’s side since his music career skyrocketed with the success of his single “Die a Happy Man,” which earned him the ACM Award for single of the year in 2017.
The song’s success was especially meaningful for Akins because it was a musical tribute from Thomas Rhett, who had written the lyrics about her and their romance. But her husband’s fame left Akins wondering: “How can I live my own life of purpose?”
