You can argue with your friends whether you’re a Rachel or a Carrie, but we all know we’ve been duped. At some point, most of us have hoped to find love in a coffee shop; that the journey to true love and happiness would be quirky and magical. Maya was one of these people, but she’s also a lifelong underdog. She didn’t get swept away by Prince Charming or the dream job in the city that didn’t really seem to have a set schedule. Instead, her life was way more… real. In her autobiography, Maya recounts her journey through love as a millennial. A self-professed “late bloomer,” Maya took a leap of faith to New York City… and almost crashed and burned. Determined to stay and create her own Sex and the City story, Maya’s “messy” life makes for entertaining anecdotes and powerful life lessons.Each mistake, whether they be her own or her ex-lovers’, brings Maya closer to the most important love of all – respect and devotion to oneself.
