Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis by Ada Calhoun
3.0
This book gives a lot of well researched perspective, talks to a lot of women, uses a lot of statistics, but it was very similar to the other "struggles of adult women" books out there. Saying a lot of the same things, but not much of anything new or where to go from now.
And a frustrating thing about it, is because it's hook is that it's specific to Gen X women's problems, it tries to say a lot of these struggles are thing only Gen X women experience and other generations just do not know what it's like etc. Trying to say millennial women don't know what it's like to deal with debt and the cost of living and careers and young children and aging parents all at the same time, when most millennial women I know are in their 30s and dealing with all of those things and struggling? Very off-putting.
