Description Conducive To Books The Year I Turned 25: A Memoir About Sex, Anxiety and a Dog Named She-Devil
"I always thought twenty-five was the year I’d finally be grown up, the year the world would finally start taking me seriously, the year I would finally know what I wanted. And yet…”The Year I Turned 25 catalogues the ups and downs of a TV reporter in her mid-twenties, who takes on the added challenge of training an adorable, but misbehaving puppy. Sometimes melancholic and other times hilarious, this brave and thought-provoking memoir approaches dating, sexual assault and mental health in a personal, but relatable way. This book is for every woman who ever asked herself if something was wrong with her and for every dog lover who discovered true love in a puppy.
“This project isn't about – and was never about – figuring out who I am. It’s about figuring out how to figure out who I am."

Raquel Fletcher is a born story teller! She makes everyday life seem new and exciting. Her breezy style is a delight to read, and her candor brings everything into focus for the reader.

She describes a disturbing sexual assault, her struggles with anxiety, and her attempts to balance her Catholic faith and her sexuality. Many aspects of her 25th year that she captures here are familiar to me: painful crushes, raw desire, overflowing energy, the struggle to assert herself and find her own voice, and the relief that comes when
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As soon as I opened it, I was pulled into the author's world - her personal journey of self-discovery; of becoming an adult; of being a woman. As she tells her story with passionate and candid honesty, wearing her heart on her sleeve, I found myself remembering my own such feelings - my memories of true and embarrassing love, heartbreak and grief, fear and anxiety. Her personal journey through heartbreak, to finding love again in the cuddles of a loyal pet, all

The anxiety elements are handled in a way that you can empathize with the events without it ever
