I'm in my late 20s, so I figured I'd give this a whirl to see how I "stacked" up, especially someone who's managed to get published.

Well, I think I'm doing ok. My idea of an adult dinner party drink is wine, NOT tequila and Triple Sec. I pay my bills on time and don't claim electric only needs to be paid when they're threatening to turn off the power. And while I too spent some time living with my parents post-college, I was in grad school and not layabouting in my childhood bed.

Parts of the book were good. I enjoyed the last chapter of finding your home, something especially relevant to those of us figuring out where we feel at home and at ease. And while she does have a wicked sense of humour, she definitely overuses it in this book. I found myself rolling my eyes time after time.

I can see why some people would enjoy this book, though, and like I said, I enjoyed parts, but overall, it was meh.

nonfiction humor/memoirs (blogger). I only read the first 2-3 chapters, but didn't find it that funny. Not everyone can relate to Alida, but I'm sure some people will find it right up their alley, and hilariously so.

I really like that we are starting to see more diversity in feminist memoirs. That's not to diminish any of the memoirs written by white or black authors - but even as an American born Chinese, there are a a lot of culturally influenced experiences that I have which aren't necessarily addressed in a mainstream white or black woman's experience, so I'm always excited to see other voices being added to the mix -- this one a biracial woman who is half Puerto Rican and half Irish.

I really wanted to like this book, but I've read more engaging pieces on thoughtcatalog.
