In Figuring Out Thirty, Bridget examines the modern women’s experience with fresh eyes. This book is funny, feminist and authentic in exploring the questions we all harbour through some of the most confusing years of our lives. It's the big sister you need, blazing a trail that challenges the institutions, expectations and insecurities women and girls are facing.

No one likes admitting that they’re afraid of turning thirty, even though so many of us are. This book will validate your feelings – whether you’re approaching thirty and bricking it or feel like you have it all figured out. I steamed through it in one sitting. Bridget welcomes everyone in, and is generous in sharing her story, and wise in knowing it will help other women who are unlearning the script we’ve been told to memorise.
Lucinda ‘Froomes’ Price
Tender, heartfelt and joyful, Figuring Out Thirty is a millennial’s modern-day toolkit wrapped in a warm hug. This memoir-style self-help book is full of feeling and will leave you feeling seen and comforted. Bridget’s infectious personality and bright-eyed enthusiasm shines through, as do her honest and quiet self-reflections. It’s Bridget as you’ve never seen her before.
Maggie Zhou
A refreshingly real blueprint for the reality of turning thirty. So grateful for Bridget’s generosity in sharing so deeply – I felt so seen.

Figuring Out Thirty will speak to so many of us when it comes to navigating life, love and loss! A vulnerable and honest book, and one we all need on our bedside tables.

We’re excited for every milestone birthday, until the big 3-0 arrives . . . Why? Well, Bridget perfectly sums it up in this hilariously heart-touching, honest read.
Steph Claire Smith
Turning thirty is like realising no one really has it all figured out, and that’s okay. This book is your go-to for laughing, crying and feeling seen as you navigate the messy, beautiful chaos of figuring out life in your thirties.
Brooke Blurton
A relatable and enlightening guide to your thirties and why the decade is something to be embraced instead of feared.

Despite no longer being in my 30s, I still found this book eminently readable, which I attribute to Hustwaite’s chatty style and intimate authorial voice. Her frankness made this feel like a conversation with a good friend . . . It’s for daughters, sisters, quarter-life crisis sufferers, the heartbroken, or anyone grappling with feeling like they’re not where they’d like to be in life.
