All twentysomethings need to read this book!!! It completely changed my lackadaisical mindset of being a young adult. The author simultaneously pushes the audience to take their youth seriously while also reassuring the reader that it’s not too late to start planning ahead.

it's somewhat outdated and I don't think i agree with everything the author said. Yet I can feel her genuineness in this book. Right now I am 26 and personally I have passed the phase where I believed that I should live recklessly and enjoy life all I could in my twenties. I finished graduate school and found a job. So Imore than half of the book did not really speak to me. I agree with some of her opinions. But I still think she was only telling the one side of the story. I sometimes feel that it is a cultural thing to despise people who are not at the right stage of life as the normal people do. I am a strong believer that everyone should be responsible for their own actions and choices. No one ahould interfere or judge that.

This book never felt finger-wagging or biased; it felt compassionate and informed. It also motivated the hell out of me.
There were a handful of points that gave me a more healthy & lucid view of my 20s. Here's one: Identity and confidence are found in experience much more effectively than in endless introspection. "Find yourself" by using your 20s to experiment ambitiously with career, love, [adulting words]. Then you can make the more long-term commitments that become pressing (for most) in your 30s with more self-knowledge, confidence and qualification.
Highly recommend! LMK what you thought!

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.
