Thoroughly Enjoyed It
Big fan of the High Low so knew I was going to enjoy this. Gave me a lot to ponder on re the anxieties I feel as a millennial. Also made me want to get off social media for good.

So pleased I got the audio book!
Really loved listening to Pandora. The essays are well researched and really interesting. It's funny and relatable. Made me feel better that I'm not doing it right and the format lends itself superbly to audio book. Feels like you're having a chat with your friend.

Absolutely fantastic!!
Absolutely loved this. Pandora nails the whole modern life struggles and dives deep into the issues we face today as millennials. I was hooked on this book from the start.
Pandora is a joy to listen to as well, I must disagree with the other listener who called her "too posh", she's definitely not posh, just articulate with her words.

Insightful Essays
An insightful collection about the difficulties the modern woman experiences from being overwhelmed with culture to the expectation of contactable 25/7.

Easy and interesting listen
A great overview and narrative of issues relevant to 30 somethings. A lot resonated with me. Didn’t think there was anything groundbreaking in it, but it felt like a positive and uplifting summary of what most think - great one for Bookclub discussions

Very insightful and a breath of fresh air
Absolutely loved this. Finally someone not afraid to stray from the mainstream and critique modern life, helping us come back to our real selves. Bravo! Please write more books! :-)
