So Here's the Thing: Notes on Growing Up, Getting Older and Not Giving a Shit offers a bold, candid look at modern womanhood through sharp, funny essays and conversations. Drawing on years in high-pressure political environments and public life, the author reflects on how we grow, work, love and cope in a world saturated with social media and opinion.
From navigating bodies, parents and education to surviving office politics and online culture, these pieces mix humour with hard-earned perspective. The book moves easily between pop culture references, life in the West Wing and everyday awkward encounters, always with a direct, conversational tone.
Interviews with prominent women, including Monica Lewinsky, Susan Rice and Chelsea Handler, add extra depth and range. Their experiences broaden the discussion, touching on public scrutiny, resilience and finding a voice in environments that are often hostile or dismissive.
Readers interested in politics, feminism, media or contemporary culture will find a relatable, irreverent guide to the highs and lows of adult life. It’s an engaging collection for anyone looking to see their own challenges and questions reflected with honesty and humour.
