How You Get The Girl by Anita Kelly

challenging emotional funny hopeful reflective fast-paced

5.0

i’ve been waiting a long time for Julie Parker’s book (since i first read Love & Other Disasters) and my god did it exceed every expectation. 

i cannot express to you how important it was to see someone like Julie, someone who feels like their identity crisis is happening too late in life, go through her journey and be so clear about her vulnerabilities on page. i feel incredibly connected to julie and i also want to acknowledge how powerful it is to have EVERY PERSON in her close circle constantly there to reassure her that there is no timeline on finding yourself, there’s no need for labels, and there is NO need to feel embarrassed for any of the above. i spent more time crying during this book than i expected but wow did it hit home.
