Does Anyone Else Feel This Way?

Essays on Conquering the Quarter-Life Crisis

**An instant New York Times bestseller**

From TikTok star and the author of I Didn’t Know I Needed This Eli Rallo, a reflection on the anxiety of transitioning into adulthood, navigating the quarter-life crisis, and realizing you’re actually not alone.

Does anyone else feel like they’re the only one having a quarter-life crisis? As a senior in college, Eli Rallo expected her post-grad years to be filled with certainty, that she would finally feel that she was the “adult” she had long dreamed she’d be, with a cool job, an amazing apartment, fabulous friends, and lots of fun and flirty date nights. Instead she was met with crippling social anxiety, no idea what direction her career was taking, an inability to stop comparing herself to her peers’ picture-perfect lives on social media, and a looming sense that she may never feel certain—about her dating life, friendships, career, or even herself.

With deep honesty, raw emotions, humor, and relatability, Eli analyzes life in your twenties with a candid and heartfelt approach, asking and answering questions like:

• How do you manage losing a best friend?
• How do you know who you are or what you want to do with your life?
• How do you find time and space for all of your priorities?
• How do you navigate the choppy waters of the social media world, and not fall victim to the comparison game?
• What happens when the timeline you made for yourself as a child is long in your past?
• How do you know you’re making the right decisions?

Even though early adulthood doesn’t look just like Sex and the City or Thirteen Going on Thirty the way Eli thought it would, with Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? Eli shows you that you’re not the only one who misses the days when they could swing by the dining hall or just wants to call their mom to make it all go away. With a look at her own misadventures and hard-won life lessons, Eli shares the journey she’s been on to find herself as an adult, and the twists and turns she’s taken while navigating her own quarter-life crisis.

Yes I feel this way.!

I’ve never been one to read or listen to self help or motivation books but in such a time of my life when it feels like everything is stacking against me it feels so good to know I’m not the only one feeling this way or having these questions. And no there’s not solid answers between the lines but there’s that mutual understanding and support you get from knowing you are not alone. I’ve recommended this book to anyone who would listen to me. Anyone who is lost in their 20’s trying to figure out how they’ve come so far and how to not let your little self down.

A question we all ask ourselves, a valid one too!

Eli explained the feeling of being a 20-30 year old woman so perfectly. Things I never realized I was dealing with, going through, feeling, all captured in this book. She truly makes you feel less alone.

Must listen for every 20 something!

Absolutely loved this book and was so happy it was read by the author! It is exactly what I needed to hear as a 25 year old navigating my 20s.

Friendship is everything

Thank you for this beautiful book. It has helped me know myself and the people I love a little more and I am so grateful for that.

I love Eli but I almost never devour a celeb’s book, this was incredible and I finished in a day

Such a great book to start the new year off with! Every young woman should read this book. So inspiring, raw and authentic.
