An investigation into what it means to be in your thirties, and to navigate some of the biggest milestones of adult life, and how it is more okay than ever to not have every box checked off.
What The Reviewers Say
In her thoughtful and well-paced evaluation of 'adulthood,' Schaefer explores the struggle today’s ascendant adults face in getting anywhere near these goals 'on time.'.
For Americans currently nearing or already into their thirties, achieving major adult milestones has not been nearly so linear.
Combining memoir and case study, Schaefer examines why so many millennials have delayed, or failed to attain, the hallmarks of American adulthood: completing their education, purchasing a home, marrying, achieving financial independence, and having children.
Schaefer’s breezy survey examines the dilemmas facing Americans in their 30s.
