I've been following Mari Andrew on Instagram for a long time, so when her book came out, I was so excited to read it. She did not disappoint. Those who know her from instagram will love the illustrations. Those who love memoir will love her poignant essays of self-discovery. It doesn't matter that I'm nearly 20 years older than she is--her insights and lessons were so applicable to my own life experience, and this is a book I'm sure to return to when I'm needing a lift. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
La autora, con casi un millón de seguidores en Instagram (@bymariandrew), cuenta lo que se siente dejar la comodidad de casa de tus papás y mudarte sola, datear hasta encontrar --ahora sí-- al amor de tu vida, pagar las cuentas trabajando en lo que amas, lograr que no se te mueran los cactus (ni el gato) y resolver todas esas crisis de "los adultos" que siempre pensaste que no te tocaban. Despiertas tarde para el trabajo, nadie ha pagado el internet, no hay comida en el refri y tus gatos ya no tienen arena. ¡Sorpresa! Ya eres adulto y ni te avisaron. Este es un mapa de esa vida casiadulta, un libro ilustrado que sirve como curita para cuando duele crecer. *Spoiler alert*: al final vas a tomar la mejor decisión, siempre lo has hecho. Ah, ¡y vas a querer enmarcar todos los dibujitos de este libro! Ya no hay un paso atrás, aprende y crece. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

To compare my life to my grandmothers’ lives is even more starkly contrasted. As millennials, my sister and I are mostly self sufficient, but there are definitely times when we’ve had to delicately ask for help. Our lives have been shaped by a very different era, and will forever be marked by the Recession of ’08. We will spend most of our young adulthood renting, we will postpone having children, if we have them at all, and we may not have substantial savings accounts until we are well into our 40s.
But that’s the path our lives have taken. It’s completely different than our parents, even if we wanted to measure up against their life paths, we can’t. That world doesn’t exist anymore. And while this idea isn’t exactly what Am I There Yet? delves into, the theme is close – your life is your life and we all live our lives differently and have to follow our own paths in order to carve out some semblance of self identity. If you’re looking to find some inspiration to be yourself, and even more importantly, to know that you’re not alone in feeling like your life isn’t following the prescribed path society seems to prefer, take a look at Am I There Yet?
