About this audiobook
From the author of the popular newsletter That’s What She Said, Nobody Cares is a frank, funny personal essay collection about work, failure, friendship, and the messy business of being alive in your twenties and thirties.
As she shares her hard-won insights from screwing up, growing up, and trying to find her own path, Anne T. Donahue’s debut book offers all the honesty, laughs, and reassurance of a late-night phone call with your best friend. Whether she’s giving a signature pep talk, railing against summer, or describing her own mental health struggles, Anne reminds us that failure is normal, saying no to things is liberating, and that we’re all a bunch of beautiful disasters—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The book is amusing. Light, breezy and at times very funny. But it is not a collection of essays, rather a cluster of blog-posts. I appreciate Donahue's openness - she put words on some of the silly things that often go through my semi-adult head. But the book felt sort of like reading a magazine I'd pick up in the waiting room at my dentist's...

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book gets really repetitive. It seems like reading a teenager’s diary rather than a collection of essays.
“Nobody Cares” is a pretty accurate title.
I almost stopped listening to it 4 times
