Linda Marigliano has built a career out of performing for other people. In her day-job as an on-air presenter or in her family home, she contorted herself into 'the cool girl' or 'the good girl', and struggled to ever truly switch off. As she repeatedly over-committed and sought approval in all its guises, she started to ask herself: Why am I like this? Combing through her complex relationship with her mother, the sense of duty within her extended Italian and Chinese-Malaysian families, and the twisting turns of both her career path and her love life, she noticed a pattern emerging.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 134
The Rachel Incident is an all-consuming love story. But it's not the one you're expecting. It's unconventional and messy. It's young and foolish. It's about losing and finding yourself. But it is always about love. When Rachel falls in love with her married professor, Dr Byrne, her best friend James helps her devise a plan to seduce him. But what begins as a harmless crush soon pushes their friendship to its limits. Over the course of a year they will find their lives ever more entwined with the Byrnes' and be faced with impossible choices and a lie that can't be taken back...

Irina obsessively takes explicit photographs of the average-looking men she persuades to model for her, scouted from the streets of Newcastle. Placed on sabbatical from her dead-end bar job, she is offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, promising to revive her career in the art world and offering an escape from her rut of drugs, alcohol and extreme cinema. The news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, centred around Irina's relationship with her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention....

Anna's always had too many feelings. Or not enough feelings—she's never been quite sure. Debilitating panic. Extraordinary melancholy. Paranoia. Ambivalence. Fear. Despair. From anxious child to terrified parent, mental illness has been a constant. But between therapists' rooms and emergency departments, there's been a feeling even harder to explain … optimism. In this sharp-eyed and illuminating memoir, award-winning writer Anna Spargo-Ryan pieces together the relationships between time, mental illness, and our brain as the keeper of our stories.

Publisher's Summary
An oddly optimistic, witty, and insightful generation-defining book for a lost generation, the miserable Millennials, from Bridie Jabour, opinion editor at Guardian Australia
In 2019, Bridie Jabour wrote a piece for the Guardian about the malaise of millennials and how the painful, protracted end of their adolescence is finally hitting home. They're looking at their lives and thinking: "Is this it? Have I chosen the right place to live, the right job, the right partner? Am I, perhaps, not as special as I thought?"
The article went viral overnight and Bridie decided the time had come to write a book about her generation - those much-maligned millennials. After all, she reasoned, this generation is coming of age in a unique set of social and economic circumstances, including precarious work, delayed baby-making, rising singledom, a heating planet, loss of religion, increased unstable housing and, now, a pandemic. But despite her assumption that this generation of 31-year-olds is the most miserable ever, she discovered that wasn't the whole truth....
Forthright, funny, incisive, and provocative, Trivial Grievances is truly a book for our times, and for every 20- or 30-something-year-old anxious about their place in the world.

Tragifection
A necessary progress check on the little generation that could - but hasn’t.
A living autopsy on what the “gifted” kids did after school (and the psychological dicking that title caused).
A funny counterweight against the idea there were too many merit awards in the 90s.
And the answer to what happens to people that can afford everything they want but none of the things they need.
5/5 or 10/10 whichever you prefer

An excellent companion for silly little mental health walks
I’ve already read this book but loved revisiting it in audio form. A must read for millennials.

So very disappointing
I was under the impression that this would be an intelligent, funny, outlook on what it is like to be in your 30's in this day and age - an idea that the cover represents.
But this book is NOT any of those things. There are some interesting points, but the rest is just the author's opinion, which is entirely too smug. It isn't funny, it isn't insightful, it isn't deep, it wasn't as relevant or as relatable as I had hoped.
It was like I was stuck in a lecture by that friend who is vapid and ignorant, but has picked up few interesting points along the way - enough to sound just smart enough to get by - but never lets you get word in edge wise. While all her opinions are gospel.
Plus the narrator made the author sound even more painfully vapid.
I'm returning this book.
So VERY disappointed.

not a good perspective for single people
was enjoying it until the marriage chapter that made singlehood sound like a sad waiting period. Wish she had interviewed someone who is happily single, and while glad she acknowledged that it's harder to buy property, I wish she would have acknowledged that the things about being single that are hardest are the social exclusion parts - eg while SHE finds weddings fascinating, for some of us, the social obligation to attend weddings is boring, expensive and ostrasizing, and that it would be nice if we as a culture celebrated women for things besides marriage and babies. Where's my gift registry???
