Apart from her work with Swift, Garrabrant has spent the past two decades devoted to an ambitious project: documenting young people around the country. At their schools and churches, in their kitchens and bedrooms, at their proms and sporting events and part-time jobs, at amusement parks and in the backseats of cars where they spend so much of their idle time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThings Shouldn't Be So Hard\u003c\/i\u003e, the first collection of her work, Garrabrant movingly captures what it's like to be not yet an adult in America: specifically the contradictory and often simultaneous states of camaraderie and isolation, confidence and insecurity, love and heartbreak, hope and despair.
