Adult Fantasy: searching for true maturity in an age of mortgages, marriages, and other adult milestones by Briohny Doyle

3.0

You can view this book in two different ways. One: as a work of a disaffected millennial who overthinks everything, or two: a poignant tract of non-conformism by a young woman who alternately (that's in "alternate") sees herself as a square peg in a societal round hole and then feels a need to adapt to the harsh, mutable world she's part of.

That's this book's major problem. The author doesn't know exactly what she wants this treatise to be - an autobiography? A guidebook for millennials? A bunch of hand-wringing? It's all of this and more, and while it's an entertaining work presented in lively, crisp language, the actual message is a turgid muddle.

Maybe that's the point, I don't know.
