APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Emma Young's The Disorganisation of Celia Stone, we delve into the diary of a 33-year-old Australian obsessed with self-help trends and solving her ever-present anxieties. From diet choices to climate change, Celia's diary entries capture the common challenges of modern life, and Young skilfully mixes introspection with humour, encouraging readers to contemplate the sources of their worries. Over the course of a year, Celia grapples with the possibility of having a child with her more laid-back husband, Jes, and her numerous medical visits and concerns shed light on the social pressures women face regarding their reproductive choices. The narrative's charm lies in the delightful interplay between Celia's frantic yet meticulous nature and life's inherent unpredictability.
