What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding: A Memoir
by Kristin Newman
adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
I had high hopes for this, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The book is a fun read if you're in your 20s or 30s and feeling a bit lost in life. It definitely made me want to visit Argentina, but some parts of her travels left me cringing.
Her trip to Brazil was awkward, and her visit to Israel glossed over the Palestinian perspective. And THAT Match.com message was bad.
Newman's privileged life allowed her to embark on big trips, which added an interesting layer to her story. However, it also highlighted her struggle with tough life decisions, mostly related to relationships and balancing different loves.
Overall, it's an okay read if you enjoy travel memoirs and are navigating similar life challenges, but it may not be for everyone due to its outdated 2014 humor and some uncomfortable moments.
