Michelle’s continued openness with her Anxiety disorder has given me greater insight into what my sister must think and feel every day. If I had been told that news as a 20-year-old would I have reacted and processed differently? Without that chapter, I would never have sat down to think about it, and to think about what a privilege it was to get to spend those last months with my Grandma. Even at 8 years old you understand that it is almost always a death sentence. When Zara wrote about her parents' cancer diagnosis, I kept asking myself if I had the knowledge I do now would I have reacted the same way to my Grandma telling my sisters and I that she had cancer. I was nodding along, I cried, and I gained further understanding of how and why I reacted to certain situations. On more than one occasion Zara and Michelle’s writing had me reflecting on events in my past. Witty and the book every 20 something needs You just might find tiny pieces of yourself in the space between the first page and the last. Join Zara and Michelle as they figure out who they are now and who they want to be. (Not forgetting the deeper meaning behind the states of their fridges and why it's so damn good to ghost out of a friend's party.) They definitely don't have all the answers but they know that mapping out our place in the world is a little bit easier when we do it together.īrimming with wit and unflinching honesty, these are their stories and personal puzzles about life as twentysomethings- from heartbreak and mental health challenges to overcoming career setbacks and letting go of fear. Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald, creators of the award-winning pop culture podcast Shameless, are two of the many twentysomething women trying to make sense of it all. It's a time when we're finding our own voices, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are). It's a specific limbo between being a teenager and a Proper Adult, and though it's wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there's also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. There's this weird gap in life that's fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila - also known as our twenties.
