don’t be mislead by the promises of sexy stories and erotic escape. the nitty gritty details are non existent. this could be classified as erotica in the age of ankles being seductive.
but if you’re like me and you just wanted a funny, light-read written by a female comedy writer focused on travel adventures, i can’t recommend this enough. it got my hyped for my future adventures around the world and make me feel certain that i can and will have fun. not to mention it had me laughing throughout and was fun to just pick up and breeze through. kristen immediately gets you to love her by making herself relatable and informal.

Is the moral that even women who seem to want career success, adventure, travel, etc. really only want to be in love and settle down? Because that's a punch in the gut message. I think her mom was pretty smart with the whole "let there be a void to fill" message though.
Despite the mixed reviews, I liked this book. It was easy and fun and I got through it in 2 days. I liked reading about a woman who didn’t get married when women are expected to, and didn’t really seem to give a damn about it. I thought I would find her more relatable, but she’s definitely a bit more wild in terms of partying and international “romances.” I appreciated it though, and felt like she kept it real. Her travel stories were funny and unapologetic, and it was refreshing to hear someone talk about a life that didn’t revolve around a career or starting a family, but allowed room for actual living alongside these other aspects.
What I Was ACTUALLY Doing While You Were Breeding:
Convincing myself life is great, sabotaging decent relationships, feeling insecure, seeking validation, using travel to escape my problems, feeling the need to constantly be around people so that I don't feel alone and mostly feeling sorry for myself.
It's a no from me dawg.

Loved the concept, but the execution wasn't great. The author was a bit too smug. I wanted to know more about the joy she felt while traveling and how much she enjoyed her freedom while her friends were getting married and having kids. Not how many strangers she slept with while in different countries.
"I'm a TV writer, and even though I've only had two boyfriends, in my spare time I go all around the world sleeping with every guy I find attractive. Since I'm a TV writer, I get a lot of spare time. If you have it, you should go too. Eventually you might sleep with the guy you end up with. Did I mention I'm a TV writer?"
Yes, the author of this book lives an uncommonly charmed life. However, I found it refreshingly inspirational to read an autobiography that eschewed the standard trajectory of success in favor of something so much less straight and narrow, driven by the author's frank acceptance of her own emotional messes.
Eh, it was ok. Quick, easy read at the beach or pool.
I love a travel memoir. Did I get a little sick of hearing about every single guy she hooked up with abroad? Yes, but it was still a good, easy read.
