5.0
The nostalgia was strong in this book. I seriously don’t think I can accurately put into words the experience of reading (listening to) this book. I feel so seen and understood as a female millennial.
The discussions about being a fan girl, being made to feel silly for liking things, the real talk about purity culture at church, and the thousands of references to nostalgic things from growing up both were highly entertaining and served to heal something in me that I didn’t know needed healing.
I haven’t felt this feeling of being deeply understood and like I’m part of a special insiders club in a VERY long time. I wouldn’t trade this feeling for the world and I will be screaming my praises for this book from the rooftop for a long time to come.
I’m so glad I got to listen to the audiobook as Kate Kennedy narrated it. I LOVED how the producers of the book decided to keep in the parts where Kate’s voice breaks when talking about how much she loves her husband, when discussing a pregnancy loss, when talking about an influential boss who has since passed, and in her acknowledgements. It was so moving to hear the real emotion behind her words.
I LOVED this book. I am telling everyone I know to read it.
