Since I was in middle school, I loved books written in either entirely or parts in letters\/emails\/online chats. Being a recent graduate myself, I thought perhaps I could relate to the content. This book had all of my favorite themes: travel, adventure, finding yourself after graduation, and written in a unique format. I had to read it!<\/p>\n<p>I loved this book. The young women are exploring their postcollege years by traveling to foreign places, finding new loves and heartache, and even finding career success. I love their brutal honesty that they write in their emails about terrible sexual encounters and the frustration of trying to find a career after college, starting from the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>This book ties in my experience of moving Utah (yes, not a foreign country but definitely somewhere foreign to me), experiencing an internship, graduating and moving away my friends and family, attempting to find (the right) career postcollege, living with a dating (or married) couple in my\u00a0adult years, and falling in love with someone quickly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I love that I can imagine spending an infinite amount of time with him [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=&#8221;yes&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221;][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=&#8221;1_1&#8243; background_position=&#8221;left top&#8221; background_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_size=&#8221;&#8221; border_color=&#8221;&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; spacing=&#8221;yes&#8221; background_image=&#8221;&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; padding=&#8221;&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;0px&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;0px&#8221; class=&#8221;&#8221; id=&#8221;&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;&#8221; animation_speed=&#8221;0.3&#8243; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; hide_on_mobile=&#8221;no&#8221; center_content=&#8221;no&#8221; min_height=&#8221;none&#8221;][Sam] and it doesn&#8217;t freak me out.&#8221; &#8212; Jess<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I found myself reading lines from the book out loud to Brighton as if the writers read my exact thoughts from months previous.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend this book to anyone who is in the years after college, looking for their paths and experiencing the entry into adulthood first-hand.
