Description
She thought she’d have it all figured out by now—career, relationships, identity, purpose. Instead, she had a PhD in behavioral science, a brain full of spirals, and a growing suspicion that the story she’d been telling herself about how life should look was way off script.
In her hilarious and deeply honest debut memoir, Sarah Watters explores what happens when your 30s don’t go to plan—and how the sticky stories we cling to about success, love, and self-worth can quietly run the show.
This Is Not How I Thought It Would Be is a sharp, self-aware look at identity, change, and what it takes to rewrite the narrative when it no longer fits.
If you’ve ever thought, This is not how I thought it would be—you’re in the right place.
