Overview
Overview
A funny, sexy, and ultimately poignant memoir about mastering the art of the "vacationship."
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.

The title says it all!
Jill W. - 3 years 1 month agoKristin Newman is a TV writer and she specializes in comedy writing and this book doesnt disappoint. It is hilarious she is hilarious. She embraces her single, child-free lifestyle and makes the most of it. She travels the world, meeting interesting people and yes, experiencing romantic encounters in most of the places she visits. As I read, her adventurous spirit, her sense of humor and her willingness to take chances inspired me. This is a great read if you're feeling a little wanderlust and need that push to leap into the great unknown.
