I was provided access to this audiobook by the publisher via NetGalley. I really enjoyed the nostalgia of this book. Limited Too!, American Girl, trundle beds, AIM, oh my! I really enjoyed the author’s commentary on how girls and women are made to feel as if our interests aren’t valid or acceptable by men, and thus society as a whole. I also appreciated that where she could, she mentioned her privilege, but also was honest with the ways in which she struggled with mental health and later on, fertility. This book was perhaps deeper than I anticipated, but it was that depth that made it all the more compelling. I also appreciated that the author addressed how her voice appeared labored at times (there’s a spoiler here, so I won’t say it) because I noticed and it was a bit distracting but I wouldn’t say it was often. But I did notice, so I liked that she explained why. I also personally love when you can hear a narrator’s emotions in an audiobook because it just makes it even more relatable. Overall, I’d recommend this audiobook!
