Really loved listening to Pandora. The essays are well researched and really interesting. It's funny and relatable. Made me feel better that I'm not doing it right and the format lends itself superbly to audio book. Feels like you're having a chat with your friend.

Absolutely loved this. Pandora nails the whole modern life struggles and dives deep into the issues we face today as millennials. I was hooked on this book from the start.
Pandora is a joy to listen to as well, I must disagree with the other listener who called her "too posh", she's definitely not posh, just articulate with her words.

Absolutely fantastic!!

A great overview and narrative of issues relevant to 30 somethings. A lot resonated with me. Didn’t think there was anything groundbreaking in it, but it felt like a positive and uplifting summary of what most think - great one for Bookclub discussions
