Thanks for Waiting
Doree Shafrir spent much of her twenties and thirties feeling out of sync with her peers. She was an intern at twenty-nine and met her husband on Tinder in her late thirties. After a long fertility struggle, she became a first-time mom at forty-one, joining Mommy & Me classes where most of the other moms were at least ten years younger. And while she was one of Gawker's early hires and one of the first editors at BuzzFeed, she didn't find professional fulfillment until she co-launched the successful self-care podcast Forever35 at forty. Now, in her debut memoir, Shafrir explores the enormous pressures we feel, especially as women, to hit particular milestones at certain times and how we can redefine what it means to be a late bloomer. In a world of 30 Under 30 lists, this book is a welcome reminder that it's okay to live life at your own speed.
