Have you ever read a book and felt deeply emotional, not because it was your story, but because it somehow cracked something open in you? That’s what this book does. But it’s not just about feeling seen; it’s finding language for what you feel, and guidance for what comes next.
No One Warned You About This Part is part creative storytelling, part honest reflection, part big-sister wisdom.
Each chapter opens with a real, creative story; then lays the truth “This is what it is. This is why it hurts. This is what you can do about it.”
Because sometimes, you don’t need another motivational quote. You need someone to sit beside you and say, “Here’s the thing.” And walk you through it.
Each chapter holds a piece of what it means to be a woman in transition; whether you’re 22, 32 or 42. It’s for the girl child. The gifted kids. The over-thinkers. The hyper-independent girls. It’s for you, if you’ve ever sat in your room and “Nobody told me it would feel like this.”
Read this are stumbling across some quote on Instagram. It was thought provoking, but parts of it were a bit too feminist and “men are trash” for me. I don’t think it’s right to tarnish all men with the same brush, as they certainly aren’t all the same, this was anti men, which just irritated me. I think it’s a book I’d recommend to young women, as there are so valuable lessons in it, but I’d tell them to take it with a pinch of salt, and everyone is on different paths.
A book I didn’t know I needed. I wish I had this book 20 years ago. It would have helped me through so much. I’m definitely recommending this to all my younger cousins and friends.
