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

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

2.0

 Heard about on a reading podcast (do not remember which), consumed now as I was looking for a relatively short audiobook off of my TBR and saw this was read by the author, which typically I enjoy. I wasn't familiar with this author, although I have since learned she's a popular podcaster. I do NOT recommend this as an audiobook, the author sounds like a 13 year old with vocal fry and I have a feeling I'd appreciate her words and sentiments with a lot more gravity if I didn't hear her voice. I truly was just trying to get through this at the end. 

I had high hopes for this, as it's marketed as being about navigating relative delinquency on life milestones and the old adage for my field is "what's the cost of a medical degree? Your 20s". But I still somehow felt I could not relate. I did appreciate the frank segments on infertility, but again, found her voice pretty unpalatable.

Would not recommend as an audiobook, but may have been an excellent read, hard for me to really say.
