Interesting studies and references. However, something about Jay's writing made me want to resist the messages.

This is one of those books you decide to reread later in life so you set a date in your calendar for it (I’ll be setting mine to three years from now).
I loved it. I loved that someone cared enough to write us a book. I loved that it incorporated storytelling of other twentysomethings, rather than a bunch of advice in paragraphs.
It is a good read.

The best part are when the author talks about the counseling sessions she has with clients. The book can take leaps as it tries to tie together some anecdotes with data that aren’t the strongest of arguments.

This gave me very conflicting emotions between feeling comforted but also anxious about being in my 20s. I found a lot of the advice, particularly in the chapter about work, very useful and even made me feel better about where I am.
However, the chapters on relationships and children felt a bit traditional and overwhelming. It read as if romantic relationships are the most important thing and kind of contradicted the rest of the book. These chapters also made me feel pretty anxious and wildly behind, which I think kind of defeated the purpose.

Very good. As a twenty-something reading this has put a lot of things in perspective.
