informative reflective medium-paced

I read this back in my sociology colloquium and it a relatively interesting book, with isolated incidents / narratives that are not diverse enough to generalize to the population of twenty somethings that exist in the US. 

These particular cases felt cherry picked and as a Black woman who feels like she is facing extremely different things in her twenty’s in comparison to her peers of differing race and class, this book was not as insightful or helpful, it left me more wondering if I’m worrying about the right things as a twenty something / why do I worry about my things more in depth and critically in this time in my life and not about some of the things demonstrated in this study? 

The wondering also lead me to identify what dictates belonging for some cannot be universally adapted to fit the idea of belonging for all in this life stage. Belonging looks different culturally, socioeconomically, and characteristically. 
It just felt like a superficially targeted, and maybe even poorly demonstrative piece of some twenty somethings … not all 🤷🏽‍♀️
