Here, Tico shares vulnerable personal essays, stories, and poetry--all grouped following the cycles of the moon--chronicling her journey from late bloomer to full grownup. Observing the world of twenty-something relationships from perspectives as diverse as a bachelorette houseboat, a music festival afterparty, and the airplane ride to a death bed, she validates the experiences of women who feel like they have been abandoned by the generation that came before them. Her self-reflective stories encourage healthy life choices for young women without telling them where, what, or how to live their lives--and always with a healthy dash of humor on the side. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSimultaneously hilarious and poignant (without the whiff of morality play), \u003ci\u003eCancer Moon\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to embrace their twenties--aka the \"age of wallowing\"--as a humorous and necessary step toward understanding how we become who we want to be in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jenna Tico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647427622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647427627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e She Writes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Booklife Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/24\/2024","brand":"Jenna Tico","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898022224127,"sku":"9781647427627","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f33b882-9ac6-435b-92a1-9338bbef6671.jpg?v=1721375315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cancer-moon-jenna-tico-9781647427627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
