68/100
๐Ÿ‘Ž 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 โ€” 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.
