Thanks for Waiting: The Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer

Enjoyed this book a lot - I like what Doree has to say for the most part. This focused a lot on her dating life and sometimes she would mention friends as side characters to the dating history that I kind of wished she’d spend more time talking about that part of her story. But enjoyable and nice themes.

Huge fan of Forever 35 so was excited to read this. Doree's book resonated with me more than I expected. The irony of her feeling so alone in her late bloomer experiences when so many have experienced the same thing. Grateful for Doree's voice and validation.

Really appreciated the first half of this. The back half was a little less relatable for me and felt a little slower, particularly as it gets really into Doree's IVF journey, but I get why the story moves in that direction.

3.75. I thoroughly enjoyed this memoir, and it was an easy (but enlightening) read. Doree details in three parts her struggles with feeling like she was a “late bloomer” in all parts of her life, from childhood to her career to dating and having kids. I definitely enjoyed it mostly because I listen to her podcast and feel like I “know” her, but it was a nice and honest read.
