Jen Kirkman is a goddammit National treasure, in this book she goes beyond her first novel, in which she discussed her decision to not have children, to her decision to live her life as she sees fit
Our goal in life should be to live it as we want. It's nuts that women still have to explain their decisions to others, to have to explain why a romantic partner isn't top priority in life, to explain that you left a relationship because you didn't want to be in it ...
We seem to still live in a world where we are supposed to live for others. Kirkman lives for herself.
If you find yourself in a bookstore, I highly suggest taking this book home with you, also pick up her first novel and listen to her podcast on the way home.
Favorite quote: "No! The answer is always no to the question 'Should I call him/her? Nobody should call anybody."
