"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."

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, allProps to Raquel Fletcher for not shying away from the less glamorous moments of her life, broaching them with humour and courage and searching for truth. 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 loved this story and couldn't put it down! It was touching, it was emotional, it was relatable, it was honest, it was raw, it was funny, it was heart-breaking, it was real!
