On Being 40 by Lindsey Mead
4.0
This is a poignant collection of essays by women about their life experiences and outlook after turning forty.
I don't usually read these types of collections but the description caught my attention, and I'm happy I picked it up. The title includes personal stories from different writers, they explore many themes, from aging, careers, relationships, to the shift in priorities each lived decade.
I related to many of the stories, but my absolutely favorite was THE PEOPLE WHO GOT ME HERE by Julie Klam, I felt emotionally connected from the beginning.
Overall, a meaningful and relatable collection of essays.
