Julia Richardson

Millennial Canadian

Revisado: 02-13-19

It was fine, I did find it interesting to read someone's point of view who hasn't succeeded at the traditional uni route or moving to the city to maker herself and I appreciated her honesty about that. I think I am so fascinated by modern Canadians because it's amazing to read what life would look like if you didn't have to worry about health insurance or student loan debt (tbf - she ran up a line of credit and a Visa in this memoir and paid it off, but I mean, I have spent the past 6 years paying of cc debt and student loan debt and am scared to take risks if I didn't know where my health insurance was coming from, so that's where I see the millennial US/Canadian divide).

A Story of a Life of Intentions

Revisado: 01-25-19

I really liked this book. I understand both spectrums of the review of it. There were times I was so irritated by it, I could imagine the scathing review - the comments below that rag on it being a typical piece of work out of an MFA program flooding publishing houses. There were other times that I wanted to write the author personally and tell her how much it meant to me, and would google the book and read every interview and glean everything I could about her and wonder how to help promote it. But at the end of the day, I really felt like this book was for me, and I got the point, and I see why others did not get the point and had to be sarcastic and mean about it. It's a story of a whole life lived full of intentions, and what happens when we don't come what we expect, how there is joy and sadness in that. I could probably never read this book again besides this very moment in time that I read it, but I thank Jana Casale for writing this story that speaks to me now, in this moment, and I'd recommend it other millennial women.
Also - she was very lucky she got Rebecca Lowman as a narrator. She's read some of my favorite stories and I think she brought the right life to this story.

What did you love best about We Are Never Meeting in Real Life?

I finished this months ago but I still MISS listening to this book. Samantha is so funny. I was genuinely sad when I finished it.
