I LOVED this book SO much!! I’ve always been a proud cringy millennial, so it’s no surprise that I ate this book up. It was so funny, insightful & reflective in ways I wasn’t expecting, and I truly loved it so much. It’s part memoir, part reflection of millennial culture. This book may not be every millennial’s experience, but it was for sure mine and I truly enjoyed this book

I found this title incredibly difficult to finish: Her stream of consciousness writing style rambled all over the place, and she would often get pulled into (long) tangents that I had no interest in. And who was this for exactly? Was it trying to trigger millennial nostalgia? Because unless you got every single reference it was very isolating. Was it trying to shed light on the experience of millennials and how they were shaped? Because it lacked depth, and didn’t really feel like it had anything to say. This would have been better as a podcast.

I would rate this a 3.25 but also would I considering I didn't realize I bought this and downloaded to my kindle in 2024 and didn't get into then. That being said, I found it pretty relatable. I feel like I had a lot in common with the authors upbringing, but it was just kind of stale for me. I zoned out of a few times.

I read 20% of this essay collection and while I enjoyed it I didn't feel like I was going to get more out of continuing to read it. I think that if you are very into the details about millennial nostalgia culture then you will enjoy it, however I felt like since I wasn't so enmeshed in millennial pop culture when i was a kid/teen I just wasn't that interested in all the small details and references that were included in the essays. The essays felt too long and I also felt like the author didn't acknowledge her privilege as a white woman in her cultural commentary.

I loved this book! I’ve been listening to Be There in Five for a few years now, and it was so fun to hear more about Kate’s stories and her life growing up.

I adored this book! As a millennial it was such a unique, thoughtful, creative take on what made us our generation. I keep buying it for friends!

I thought this collection of essays was a nice read. Her writing is funny and easy to read. I’m not familiar with her podcast, though I think I will now go have a listen. The only thing for me was her life was almost too mirrored to mine it wasn’t very interesting to read about at times. I love reading memoirs and essays, but when it’s too similar to your own lived experience it’s not as interesting for me personally. 😅

This book was perfect and every millennial should quickly add this to their TBR. I devoured it and couldn’t put it down. This book was a throwback to my childhood and everything that made growing up in the 90s fun! I laughed out loud so many times and this will be a book I read for many years to come!

I was so happy to get a chance to read this book! It was excellent, I found myself breezing through it. I’ve already recommend to friends!

I am officially old 😂 as a millennial the cover drew me in and the content made me laugh, cry, and feels so much nostalgia. Def recommend this for my fellow millennial girlies! Uffff I have been seen. Now brb I need to go watch some Mary Kate and Ashley and/or Lizzie McGuire…

Did not finish. As a millennial, I think the themes in this book would have been great to read. I related to all pop culture references and loved the nostalgia. However, the book was so poorly written that I couldn’t get past the first few chapters. Great idea, poor execution.

I have been a longtime fan of Kate Kennedy and her book One in a Millennial was a pure delight. It is an incredible love letter to millennial women and I found myself laughing and crying along with Kate throughout the book. I've returned to many of the chapters since reading it the first time.

As a millennial who grew up in the 90s and the 2000s, I can really relate to the stories that Kate told within this book. I enjoyed each of the references that she made and found myself laughing throughout the book.

Somehow Kate Kennedy managed to create a book that perfectly wraps up the millennial experience and validates the "basic" in all of us. This is fast paced, witty and such a fun read.

One in a Millennial is a nostalgic, self-aware dive into millennial culture, packed with references to the pop icons and social dynamics that shaped a generation. The writing is witty and engaging, though at times the essays felt a bit too long and could have used some tightening. Some chapters resonated more than others, but overall, it’s an entertaining, relatable read for those who grew up in the ‘90s and 2000s. If you love deep dives into pop culture with a personal twist, this one’s worth picking up.

Absolutely a delightful nostalgia trip through the late 90's early 00's and what it meant to be a girl growing up as a millennial. Fans of the Be There in Five podcast will immediately feel at home with Kate's voice and new readers will find a new best friend.

I felt like I was reading the thoughts of my brain that had been transported from brainwaves to paper. I laughed, I teared up, and I followed her podcast because of this book.

"One in a Millennial" by Kate Kennedy is a witty and insightful look at the struggles of navigating love, career, and self-worth in today’s fast-paced, social-media-driven world. With a mix of humor and vulnerability, Kennedy captures the unique challenges of being part of the millennial generation. It's a relatable, fun read that touches on the messiness of modern life while offering a hopeful take on finding balance and belonging.

I love Kate Kennedy's voice and perspective, and this but was such a good example of that. This is nostalgic and brings so much meaning to pop culture history moments in the memory of the millenial woman.

Some of the chapters were a little long and draggy - but overall I enjoyed the book since I'm roughly 2 years younger than the author and grew up in the same era.
