Quarterlife Crisis: The Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties by Alexandra Robbins, Abby Wilner
2.0
The synchronicities made me laughing out loud..
I was looking for a gift for my soon-to-be 25 years old best friend when I found this book, and the concept of quarter-life crisis has been a running joke for both of us; long before we even experience it.
Yeah, the quarter-life crisis is not an entirely new concept, a little unnoticed.. maybe. But it could be because we, the twenty-somethings, couldn't be easily generalized.
So when I read this book, I was annoyed with the feelings of 'being forced' to understand the sufferings of being twentysomethings. Trust us, we DO.
Still, it was nice to read some points, knowing that someone also feels the same. If only it had a right amount..
truth hits like a bricks, too many of it can suffocate you.
and then the too much 'relate to' stories feels like a constant whining. Which ironically, the thing we do too much in our twenties.
(okay, okay, *some* of us)
One way or another, I can't finished the book. It's like being preached about the details of pain when a knife cut your finger. Sometimes my dear fellows in suffer, the answer is relax, and enjoy the journey.
then..
a few shelf after it, I found [b:Time Flies|186618|Time Flies|Bill Cosby|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172535031s/186618.jpg|3091066], by [a:Bill Cosby|3537|Bill Cosby|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1198544055p2/3537.jpg]. Ah, guess which one I chose.
