From popular culture podcaster and a voice of a technology, Kate Kennedy, a celebration of the millennial zeitgeist
One In a Millennial is an exploration of popular culture, nostalgia, the millennial zeitgeist, and the life classes discovered (for higher and for worse) from coming of age as a member of a much-maligned technology.
Kate is a popular culture commentator and host of the favored millennial-focused podcast Be There in 5. Half-funny, part-serious, Kate navigates the sophisticated nature of celebrating and criticizing the tradition that formed her as a girl, whereas arguing that nice depths can come from surface-level pursuits.
Along with her trademark type and vulnerability, One In a Millennial is sharp, hilarious, and heartwarming . She tackles AOL Immediate Messenger, purity tradition, American Woman Dolls, going out tops, Spice Woman feminism, her emotions about millennial motherhood, and extra. Kate’s laugh-out-loud asides and eager observations could have you nodding your head and possibly even tearing up.

As a millennial, born in 1989, I feel seen ð
Kate couldnât have said it better. The way we are as adults has a lot to do with the media and technology through our childhood, name brands advertising, and the constant need to adapt or fit in with pop culture.The book does start off feeling nostalgic because she talks about a childhood that is all too familiar, but I love how she explains how this ties into how we are today. Maybe not every millennial, but I found a lot of validating, relatable points that explain how the past culture has shaped my likes, dislikes, choices and goals. Thus leaving me constantly feeling (wishy washy) back and forth (sad, happy, confused, angry) I feel about my past experiences and how Iâve had to learn to let it all go and move past the past. I feel like our lives have been ever changing and have never really had a solid foot hold. She gets it! Sheâs written how I feel as an adult millennial𥰠I will be passing this book around to all the friends and family that need a recommendation.All in all this was a very fun read. Iâm proud to be apart of the Up All Night Club!I listened to the book on BOTM audio version, and at chapter 2 I had to go buy the physical copy so I could highlight and annotate (I never write in my books)ð«£. The audiobook is stellar and read by Kate. However, the book itself is a character, itâs so pretty and fun. I love seeing the screen names and away messages written out ðð«£

Brought me back to growing up!
Listened via Libby app/read via Libby library loan.Fun, nostalgic, feminist.Canât get better than that! So much could be understood in this book, despite me being an âolderâ millenial, well, actually Gen-Xer.Growing up in suburbia, so much of this rang and still rings true.

Not Really What I Expected
I was more confused by this book than anything. It is more about feelings than anything else, which is good, but it just wasn’t really the book I was expecting to read. Also, more than once the author claims within the writing that this is not a memoir, but it a book written entirely of first-person life experiences so I am not sure what it is otherwise. There are many clever moments that tie-in the pop culture we are all familiar with, but a lot of unexpected heavy moments as well. I ended up more or less skimming the last half.

Just a JOY!
This book brought me right back to my adolescence and Kate reminded me of so many thoughts, feelings, and interests that I’ve had over the years! Kate is honest, vulnerable, hilarious, and a master wordsmith. You have to really pay attention because all the plays on words brought an extra element of delight to this reading experience. Moreover, Kate makes a compelling argument for women to feel free to truly enjoy their interests despite what society/patriarchy dictate what is acceptable. To accept the sheer joy from the things that bring you joy is a sincerely valuable lesson to walk away with. Thank you for this insightful and detailed trip down memory lane and validating my experience through each phase of my life. What a special and unique read that I’ll be buying for my peers!

All of the Nostalgia
I love pop culture from the nineties and early millennium. It was the best of times (you can’t convince me any different) and I hold all of the nostalgia for that period of time.This book was part self-help and part memoir through the author’s own personal essays. All of these essays contained many references for popular things from the nineties and early two thousands (and even popular things to compare to from modern day). Those that pick up this book wanting the nostalgia from that era, will not be disappointed. These essays are saturated with those references and are extremely relatable for those that lived during that time.Although I really like that the author narrated this book, I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I read it physically. She was an amazing narrator (and a great podcast host) but I think I would have retained these essays more if I read it physically. I’ll probably end up picking this book up again at some point but that time I will read it through a hard copy edition.The acknowledgements though (especially towards her husband, her siblings, and her parents) gave me chills and in that instance the emotion in her narration made it worth the audiobook listen.

Our Relatable Queen
This books falls into a category I will refer to as the âwake your husband/partner up by loudly cackling and then insisting on reading the section out loud to himâ genre. Savored it. Flagged my favorite sections. Handed off to my sister.Kate is delight. She is that friend you would have absolutely shared an Abercrombie dressing room with as you tried on the latest tissue-thin, double-entendre laden baby doll tees that you certainly couldnât afford and would probably have to hide from your mom.This book is surreal in its relatability. Itâs a millennial elegy. We were flawed, but we are cleaning up so well.

Started goodâ¦
I really enjoyed the beginning of this book and the amazing trip down millennial memory lane. After the first half though, it becomes more of a memoir even though she specifically states itâs not. Itâs definitely nice for reliving some early memories.
