F*CK! I'm In My Twenties

- Emma Koenig

"Everyone has that moment-- the realization that adulthood has arrived, like a runaway train, and there's no getting out of its way. In an attempt to express the contradictions and anxieties that come with being over-educated, minimally employed, mostly single, and on your own, Emma Koenig turned to blogosphere..." - Taken from the back of the book.

Let me start off by saying that this was a nice break from heavier, more plot filled reads. F*CK! I'm In My Twenties is perfect for those looking for a quick, light, summer read. Not to mention that it is both humorous and relatable.

This read seems to have perfectly captured the fact that despite what the laws may say, being in your 20's isn't an automatic adult pass. I'm sorry to say, but despite what you might think or feel, you are not the exception to the rule, and that's okay, that's a realization that everyone will come to eventually. You are not the only who does not have their shit together.

Predictably, even with the good things, comes the bad things. I liked this read for a few reasons, but that doesn't mean that it was above being disliked for a few reasons as well. There were a lot of porn/sex jokes, which personally, made me feel uncomfortable, and more than a few of the jokes made fell flat. However, due to the fact that this book is essentially a mock autobiography made up of weird drawings, this can be excused.

All in all, I'd recommend this book to those willing to read it. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and all I can do is sincerely encourage you to keep warm & read.
