I didn‘t love this one but it wasn‘t a complete pan. I really liked the author‘s ability to have fun with this book and be passionate about her writing. Some of the essays were just a little bit annoying to me and preachy. But, it wasn‘t bad - just not my type of book, I think.
In the style of the almost nauseatingly relatable voice of Alida Nugent, with the comic chops the likes of Amy Schumer, Marina Shifrin proved that when you set your mind to something (and hate your job THAT much) you can make yourself a viral sensation and check off everything on your list of things to accomplish before your 30th birthday. Though not a unique idea, she brought new attention to the ruts we so easily find ourselves in as a 20‘s.
Although plenty of the stories were cringe-worthy, and I suffer mightily from vicarious embarrassment, I still genuinely enjoyed reading about a contemporary stumbling along the same messy path to adulting.

I organized my ARCs from #alaac18 today, and I appear to be booked through early November. Pun intended. Lots of things I am excited to read and share!
According to Vladimir Shifrin, “In America, work plus creativity plus work equals whatever you want.”
