Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take

Kayleen Schaefer Β· 2022
68/100
π Skip It
Kayleen Schaefer digs into how thirtysomethings are rewriting the old adulthood milestones, weaving her own bumpy path with real interviews and data rather than just opinion β good enough to land on Vogue's best-of list. Kirkus liked the storytelling but called out that her profiled subjects are too narrow a slice of the thirtysomething experience to draw big conclusions from, and that critique feels fair.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
