About this listen

 There's this weird gap in life that's fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila - also known as our twenties. It's a specific limbo of being suspended between being a teenager and a Proper Adult, and though it's wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there's also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. It's a time when we're finding our own voices, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are).

Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald, creators of the award-winning pop culture podcast Shameless, are two of the many twentysomething women trying to make sense of it all. They definitely don't have all the answers but they know that mapping out our place in the world is a little bit easier when we do it together.

Brimming with wit and unflinching honesty, here are their stories and personal puzzles about life as twentysomethings: from heartbreak and mental health challenges to overcoming career setbacks and letting go of fear. (Not forgetting the deeper meaning behind the state of their fridges and why it's so damn good to ghost out of a friend's party.)

Join Zara and Michelle as they navigate their journeys between the women they are now and who they want to be. You just might find tiny pieces of yourself in the space between the first page and the last.

Such an amazing book. The writing was beautiful and encapsulated the worries, woes and celebrations of your 20s so well! As a 23 year old I related to so many parts. Lovely vulnerability as well, it was tough to read but necessary

Well done!!

Have listened to Mich and Zara for a while and they feel like old pals. It was great to listen to the book in audiobook form as it felt like a big 7 hour episode! The writing was so great and I honestly have never resonated with writing for 20s year olds as much as I did with this book. Thank you girls for being so raw and sharing experiences a lot of us have had but are scared to speak about.

Fab book that I wish I had in my teen years/early 20s

I loved this book.

There are some sections which naturally aren’t as relevant to myself or my life now. But there are others that were too relevant. I know that I will come back and re-read this book as my life develops and I also find myself applying the knowledge to my friends as well. An absolute must read even if you are not a shameless listener.

Wasn’t all relevant now, but it will be.
