You know what they say: your 20s are for making mistakes. This brutal yet somehow still fun-loving decade teaches us some of the most difficult lessons . Most 20-somethings find comfort in the idea that “Now is the time to screw up!” Often, this makes becoming a 30-something feel like the ultimate wake-up call. If our 20s are for experimenting and learning, our 30s are for finding more solid grounding. But if you’re not where you thought you’d be by this age, you might struggle with comparison or even isolation from those around you. Of course, I like to think that 30 is still young, and we never really stop growing. But if you’re feeling the pressure from society to “settle down” or “get your sh-t together,” well, you’re certainly not alone.  Here are three books for 30-somethings who feel behind in life. 1. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is a gentle, grounding self-help/spirituality book that highlig...

Everybody’s a little more impressionable than they’d like to admit right now. The Sun meets Neptune, so fantasy, projection, and wishful thinking are dressed up and trying to pass as fact. Then Saturn steps in and asks what can actually hold up once the mood wears off. In the middle of that push-pull, stargazer, we’re all getting a better look at where we’ve been romanticizing people, situations, and our own bad ideas. Cute, until reality starts asking follow-up questions. A Half Moon in Cancer brings the emotional check-in nobody can dodge forever, while Pluto adds weight to the conversations and choices that have been sitting in limbo. Uranus keeps the week restless enough to prevent anybody from sleepwalking through it. This isn’t a soft-focus stretch of astrology. It’s honest, a little raw, and surprisingly useful. The truth may arrive dressed up, with a suspect alibi and excellent timing, but it still arrives. How will your sign fare this week? Aries: March 21 – April 19 You ...

Now, the women must face their past and work through their adversities to  As Goodreads puts it, “In a garden surrounded by a tall fence, tucked away behind a small, quiet house in an even smaller town, is an apple tree that is rumored to bear a very special sort of fruit. In this luminous debut novel, Sarah Add...

Anyone in their 20s understands the chaotic, often discouraging struggles we all face during the relentless decade. From job hunting to tumultuous relationships to uncertainty about the future, this time in our lives can feel impossible to navigate. In fact, it’s such a relatable struggle that people now refer to it as a “quarter-life crisis.”  As a 30-year-old woman who somehow survived her messy 20s, I owe much of my growth to reading . If you’re looking for support and relatability in the form of a novel, here are three books that feel like a quarter-life crisis. 1. My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh tells a story we all wish we could lead: one of a self-chosen, year-long solitude/hibernation.  The narrator is a young woman who seemingly has it all. She’s young, rich, gorgeous, thin, intelligent, successful, creative…but still, that doesn’t seem like enough to fulfill the deep hole in her heart. She’s ...
