emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

One in a Millennial: On Friendship, Feelings, Fangirls, and fitting In is an exploration of pop culture, nostalgia, & the life lessons learned from coming of age as a member of a much-maligned generation. This sharp, hilarious, and heartwarming commentary tackles AOL Instant Messenger, purity culture, American Girl Dolls, going out tops, Spice Girl feminism, millennial motherhood, and more. 

If you’re a Millennial you’ll totally get it, if you’re in that gap between Millennials and Gen-X (Hi, hello, this is me) you’ll be nodding from time to time, and if you’re Gen-X you may gain a deeper appreciation for a generation so different from your own.

This was a really interesting audiobook, it was both informative and personal, like a memoir and a narriative nonfiction had a baby. As I said earlier, I grew up in that weird spot where I cannot fully relate to true Millennials or Gen-Xers, so at times I found things to be deeply relatable and others had me thinking “O, I kinda get it now”…

I listened to the audiobook, which Kate read herself and loved it. The change in her voice when things got emotional was everything. If you’re looking for a unique, easy flowing nonfiction, and have any interest in what its like being a Millennial I highly recommend picking this one up. 

Thank you @macmillan.audio for the gifted copy.
