I finished "I Was Told There'd Be Cake" by Sloane Crosley last night. Its a book full of essays, dealing primarily with situations that occur during one's mid-20s. What I really enjoyed about it is that the author was born in 1978, so the stories she relates from her own experiences, the flashbacks to things in her childhood, are easily relatable...they are from my generation. For some examples, it was great to read about the glory of the old Oregon Trail game that many of us grew up with during our school years, the experience of that first apartment or place, and the pressures of the first time you entertain guests in your own place. I very much enjoyed the book, very quick read, and it was nice to be able to read someone else's experiences and reminiscence about my own from the same time periods. Highly recommend for anyone interested in a little light reading.
