Tired of trying so hard, Sophia finally let go of the crushing pressure to be perfect.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eShe navigates the highs and lows of the dating world (high: being a beta tester for Bumble; low: hastily shaving her legs before a hotel hookup and getting blood all over the sheets), and walks the line between being a “chill” girl and making sure her boyfriend’s nonchalance about altitude sickness doesn’t get him killed. She learns what it means to be a feminist, how to embrace her own voice, and when to listen to women who have been through more and have been doing the work longer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith topics ranging from how to be the life of the party (even when you have crippling anxiety), to an ill-fated consultation with a dietician who deemed Sophia’s overindulgence in ketchup a serious health risk, to a masterful argument for why no one should judge you for having an encyclopedic knowledge of reality TV, \u003ci\u003eWell, This Is Exhausting \u003c\/i\u003eis not only “one of the funniest books you’ll read this year, but it’s also one of the most important” (\u003ci\u003eShondaland\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49346910847280,"sku":"BDehxq","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ehxq-cover.jpg?v=1761377064","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ehxq","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
