Very cool idea, Random House. I like that you asked US (THE PEOPLE!!!) to share our stories, so we readers get perspectives from soldiers to artists to Wendys employees to teachers. LOTS of teachers. I like that! These stories really resonated with me. Duh, I'm a 20-something and I wanna be a teacher. I think the market is over-saturated with tales of teens and 30/40(?)-somethings. Where the 20-somethins at!? This made me feel less alone in the strange, unanticipated place I've found myself in - livin at home at 24. It was interesting to see the change between the early 20s crises (haha, silly young 20-somethings) and the later 20s' often baby-related musings. These essays made me LOL (srsly, guys) and even cry (just a little bit), so I guess I NEEDED to read this right now.
