Must Read! submitted by Kmocean on July 30, 2012, 7:51am As someone in their 20s, this book was relatable and the time for reflection it gave me was priceless.
A good book if you're in your 20s submitted by chanteliu on August 14, 2019, 1:56pm While I didn't agree with some of the advice presented by Meg Jay, most of the advice she offered in this book she I will take to heart. I think it's important that everyone's journey is different. So some advice might be more relevant to others.
