GoodReads Synopsis: THIRTYLIFE CRISIS Lisa Schwartz’s stories and musings are all about watching her friends adult like pros, while she tries to understand why she doesn’t want or can’t seem to find all the things they have for herself. Like a big sister who’s already seen it all, Lisa will take readers through her own life experiences to say that one thing we all need to hear: you are so not alone. Unabashed and unfiltered, Schwartz’s voice and candor will appeal to anyone in their thirties who just can’t deal with the never-ending Facebook feed of friends’ engagement photos and baby pictures, the trials of figuring out where their passion meets their career, and everything in between.

Review: Thirty-Life-Crisis is Lisa Schwartz’s debut book. Overall, I realized that this book wasn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t get into the writing style. Some of the tid bits she writes at the end of her chapters are relatable and sound advice. However, I found most of the chapters to be a bit all over the place and a little bit repetitive. I found myself skimming most the book trying to get a gist of what points she was making. Personally, I’d recommend skipping this nonfiction book unless you’re a fan of her YouTube channel.

Rating: 1/5
