This was a fascinating read, in part because Kate Kennedy and I have some shared cultural touchstones from our sheer millennialness, but we are also very different people with very different pop culture interests who are at very different points in our lives now. Stellar wordplay and humor, interspersed with touching personal and/or embarrassing anecdotes. A delight.

Despite the fact that I was born a hairsbreadth prior to being a millennial, I still feel seen. These essays, complete with random song quotes, TV show references, and the fear that comes with simply being a basic woman in this world, were a gift for my heart.

Kennedy does use the phrase "If I'm being honest" on several occasions, but I am perfectly content to forgive this. After all, these essays are her opinions, her stories, her world.

"My husbands kindness, care, and respect for me made all the difference... Its not that he saved me. I just eventually understood that I was never broken to begin with."
