I came across this book in a Walmart shelf and I immediately felt called by its name. Didn't read it until a year later and that was a mistake. 
I loved this book. I must say, at the beginning I felt weirded out by it, just a little, her infancy and teenage years were something. But as soon as we reached the 20's more specifically the 25's I started to adore this book (might have something to do with the fact that I was turning 25 when I reached the part when she's 25), I started to feel so related with this book at that part, so understood. Since reading it I have done nothing but recommend this book. Loved the memoir, I'll be reading more of those hoping to find something like this again. Some chapters are so funny, and some are so chaotic, and there's a couple that are so sad, I just enjoyed this book so much overall that I finished it in less than a week. Please read this book, you won't regret it (most likely)

This book was slow to start for me. I just think I wasn't in the right mood for it but it got better as it progressed. It made me laugh, and it made it cry!

A really lovely book in portraying your 20s, it felt reassuring to me to hear someone else talk about the importance of friendships instead of other relationships. I did find the narrative a little difficult to follow timeline wise sometimes but that is probably more due to me listening to it instead of reading it. I loved the portrayal of platonic love and did sometimes wish there was less about romantic relationships and more about friendships but that's quite subjective.
Would definitely recommend reading this book.

This book really shows you the events of growing up and issues you encounter on the journey. I like that some of the chapters weren't really actual chapters, it added personality into the book.

Some parts of the book were great, but it also lost me a couple of times.
