Nostalgic. Funny. Relatable. If you are a child of the 80s/90s/00s (aka a millennial), you are going to eat, pray, love your way through this book.
From vacation boyfriends to Now & Then, Clueless, and AIM, Kate Kennedy encapsulated what it means to be a millennial and relayed her experience in easy-to-digest essays and poems. She pokes fun at millennials in a way only fellow millennials are allowed to do. The interspersed song lyrics felt like little Easter eggs of throwback goodness.
I felt myself either going back to simpler times or thinking about what I still need to discuss at my next therapy session. I also never knew I had such strong feelings about NSync's "God Must Have Spent Have Spent a Little More Time on You" (and is that not the longest song title ever?!). The Parent Trap essay resonated most with me... Kennedy's anecdote from the HomeGoods line has been me so many times.
Absolutely recommend. The audio narration is a gem. I could feel (and often hear) Kennedy's emotion. Her wit and dry humor was refreshing.
