"One in a Millennial" is the perfect read for any millennial in need of some nostalgia. I follow Kate Kennedy online and was excited to read her debut book. This is written in her tone and it's like you're listening to her talk. Which is turn was a little but I still enjoyed it.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for my digital arc in exchange for my review.

If you are millennial white, middle class female this book is an absolute accurate description of the 1990s and 2000s. her humor and heart make it very relatable. Sometimes I laughed out loud, and other times I was nodding my head in agreement. Great read, but if you do not relate to the above criteria- you may not find it enjoyable.

This book reads as a memoir that will hit home with those of “my generation” to risk that phrase sounding dated. I loved remembering things from the past that would really only mean something to the millennial culture. It made me happy and was a fun book!

I was hoping for a VH1 "We Love the (Decade)" type of book, but it was more of a memoir. Definitely relatable to millennials and will resonate there, but it's a lot less funny and a lot more introspective that I would have liked.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advance review copy in return for an honest review. This book was so fun and witty. There were so many things from my past that she talked about that I had forgotten about. My only critique is that it felt a little long

Kate Kennedy is the host of the podcast "Be There in Five." Now she's adding "author" to her list of careers with "One in a Millennial: On Friendship, Feelings, Fangirls, and Fitting In." Throughout this book, Kennedy is pointing out "the dichotomy between celebrating the things I grew up with for what they were while also criticizing the way they shaped my worldview." In her book, she talks about silly topics such as the Spice Girls and American Girl dolls, while also talking about more difficult topics such as purity culture and infertility.

I enjoyed the walk down the memory lane of my childhood, and also appreciated how open and transparent Kennedy was, while also adding her trademark humor. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete this book. It simply became too much of a slog and I couldn't bear it any longer and had to quit reading (which is a very uncommon occurrence for me - I usually stick most books out). At first I enjoyed the familiar references to brand names and and trends of the 90's and was excited to continue reading. However, each chapter seemed to get progressively worse and worse. I started skipping pages as Kate continued to drone on (and on!) about waterskiing at church camps while being (in hind sight) indoctrinated with the religious "purity" movement. I finally called it quits when I started on the next chapter about HANDWRITING (yes - literally handwriting, not "the art of writing"), which my Kindle predicted would take me 45 minutes to finish reading (yes 45 minutes for that single chapter, not the remainder of the book). Maybe rambling on and on about topics (especially while interviewing a guest) is a successful model for Kate Kennedy's podcast, but it made for a terrible (in my opinion) writing style, which I couldn't endure.

I adored this book, I found it to be full of wisdom. It was also very entertaining and relatable if you are a millennial (guilty). I find it silly as we get older we hold onto those moments from when we were younger and we don't even know it. This book will remind you of those moments.

’ve listened to many of Kate’s podcast episodes and her same witty and insightful voice is in this book, mercifully with more editing. I am no doubt the target demographic for the book being born in 1989 and a lover of pop culture. There were some lines that were so smart and insightful it truly stopped me in my tracks, but often times I feel like it was well trodden territory. Do I think this because I am aware of Kate’s internet prescience or because it truly has already been covered in the media landscape? I think the book is part cultural criticism and part memoir, so it may struggle to find exactly what to bill itself as when it comes to marketing. With all cristicsms aside, I truly enjoyed the book and found it best consumed in small bites.

Thank you Kate Kennedy and St. Martin’s Press for this awesome E-ARC! Growing up as a 90’s baby (1995) the millennial nostalgia was STRONG!! So many memories were brought to the surface - all in good ways - of how it was growing up, seen in the societies eye, and the challenges we face(d) in this particular generation. If you’re a millennial (born 1981-1996) I highly recommend this memoir!

I didn't know the author's podcast before reading this, so she was a stranger when I started the book, but now feels like a BFF I'm going to try to impress with my AOL away messages. I'm a few years older than Kate, and from a different background, especially socioeconomically, but many of the cultural touchstones she explores were vital to my adolescence too. And it's been interesting to think back on the cultural messaging I absorbed without questioning, especially when it came to body image and "crazy" female characters like Jessie Spano. All in all, a fun, nostalgic read!

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I loved this and it was like walking down memory lane! The only thing that was hard is the length. Chapters were long so it wasn’t easy to put down and come back - I ended up skimming. It felt wordy at times too. But, overall enjoyed!

I absolutely loved this book and will be purchasing it for all of my female friends. I've never felt so seen and had no idea how many of my experiences were shared. Fun, insightful, and poignant - one of my favorite reads of the year.

One in a Millenial is another one of those times when you thought you were the only one to experience a certain experience in your growing up only to find out nope. I’m not sure what I was expecting with this one maybe to be more about the author in like memoir style but none the less it was fun to reminisce. Thank you Net Galley, KateKennedy and St. Martins Press for this in exchange for my honest opinion

I’m a millennial fan of Kate Kennedy and this did not disappoint! Her distinct voice came shining through on the page and I was totally entertained. Would be a great gift book for the millennial in your life!

When you think you've had unique life experiences but then you come to the realization that you are just a millennial. I related to so many of the essays throughout this book and found myself laughing out loud and feeling very seen. The essays were quite long and sometimes felt very wordy.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

For a millennial this book hit home in so many ways. Reminded me of so many things I had forgetten about: inflatable furniture, door beads, Limited Too, boy bands, sleepovers and so much more. So funny how she connects all the pieces of our past to how it has affected us today.

Once in a Millennial by Kate Kennedy was a funny and entertaining read. I like that it's written in a style that feels like your talking to your friends. Overall, I found her points and views very interesting and enjoyed my time reading it. I don't think there was anything that was groundbreaking or completely original but I still found some value in it.

I love the long-form narrative style of Be There in Five and One in a Millenial is just as relatable and insightful. I love her nuanced perspective on topics such as Spice Girls, the impact of gender on the type of entertainment society values, AIM, and Limited Too. While this book provided plenty of opportunities to reminisce about growing up in the 90s, it was also full of thoughtful commentary on the impact of those experiences today. I cant wait to purchase this book when it is released and will absolutely recommend it to friends.

Thanks so much to NetGalley for this early copy of One in a Millennial.

I read the beginning of the book and really enjoyed it. If you fit into the millennial category there's definitely something that's going to be there for you. Kate knows how to talk a length on these subjects through and through, with poise, a little rambling, and a lot of wit. I will wait to read the rest of the book via audiobook as I know from listening to her podcast that hearing her narration will be on point.
