I was wary of a book from the 'self-help' section and perhaps it's confirmation bias, but I think this was a really helpful book. Jay is not too preachy and explores many different psychological theories and topics concerning twenty-somethings. Definitely worth a read if you're looking towards your adult years with hesitation!

Very interesting book. I loved the point of view of the author and the breakdown of the book. Also enjoyed the real life examples and how it tied it into the book. Good read.
Not a fan. Very judgmental and not open to non-traditional life paths. Made me feel more stressed about the future. Would have been interested in a few more psychology, science based examples.
2.5 - felt a bit judge mental, especially for a therapist, but I could take the pieces of advice I wanted from it so still a good read
Helpful reminder that we make our own certainty and lifepaths without venturing into the unhelpful platitude of "you can do anything you set your mind to!" I didnt agree with the types of "should"s presented (e.g. parenthood, not working a service job for a long time, not living intergenerationally) which just confirmed my suspicion that this was written for a very narrow type of 20-something - white, cis and heterosexual, able-bodied, college educated, middle to upperclass, North American.
Definitely anxiety provoking to have read in my late twenties, but better late than never.

good on the factual stuff and gives welcomed perspective, but i still dont know wtf i am going to do where i am going, and i wish pointers had been given on that front. sums up to "start working on your future now". also, she makes it seem like you get a job just by snapping your fingers. narratively, i liked this, all the different examples were entertaining.
This book was good to help me see that what I am feeling and thinking about being in my 20s is pretty universal and I am not alone. Also how important your 20s are. I had never thought about it before.
