Description
A funny, sexy, and ultimately poignant memoir about mastering the art of the “vacationship”—the inspiration for the upcoming Freeform series While You Were Breeding
“What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is kind of like if Eat, Pray, Love were written by your funniest friend.”—Rachel Dratch
Kristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends’ weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed.
Kristin introduces readers to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into “Kristin-Adjacent” on the road–a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is a compelling debut that will have readers rushing to renew their passports.

5By Larz1125As a chronically single 30 year old woman, who loves to travel, I felt like Kristin was telling my story. I am hopeful for my last chapter as well! Loved this book and can't wait to recommend it to my friends.So well written, hilarious and real
5By BaileyallisonThank you, Kristin, for sharing your wonderful life.Loved it!
5By Lalita008Great book!Easy breezy book
3By KittykiteIt is a fun, easy to read book that practically gives you whiplash between the 'Yay! Being a single girl finding myself rocks!' and the 'finding a man is my happy ending' cliche. My hopes when opening this book was to hear more about her travels and the people she meets, but it was more of a chronicle of her search for hook ups. All in all, a fun summer read that screams, 'You need a man to have fun'.Funny and true
