Thanks for Waiting: The Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer by Doree Shafrir
5.0
As a somewhat late bloomer myself, I really appreciated this heartfelt and vulnerable memoir of how it feels to still be swirling around when everybody else seems like they have things figured out. Shafrir sharing details of her dating life in her 30s and her struggles with fertility was both shocking and comforting in that she shared the reality, not the Instagram filtered version of life where everything is beautiful and easy.
And I loved the underlying theme of her journey towards self acceptance that what she wanted mattered more than what "they" thought.
Quick and easy read but very enjoyable.
Interestingly, I tried reading her novel before this but thought it was trite and shallow because I've read and lived too many similar tech stories. Her memoir felt much deeper and original.
