"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me."
Emotional, raw and tangible with some real good examples of how to do and not do your relationships, though it would have been better if I had related more to Alderton's life experiences (but do I wish to relate to alcoholism though?...)

All the parts where the story of her life went on were interesting and nice to listen to, but the more life guide -like parts that tried to be funny weren't really funny at all and made me cringe and wish they had been cut out. Still worth reading/listening to, especially if your sense of humour is different from mine lol

The part about getting older in the very end was my favourite one, as I have been experiencing a continuous aging crisis since I was effing 13 and it's still going strong now at 20, I'm absolutely horrified about turning 30 and yes I keep rambling on and on but yeah read this book especially if you are in your 20s or 30s thank you and bye

this book lowkey feels like barbie
there were moments of immense wisdom and truly fantastic parts to read, but they were scattered between lots of stories and stuff that didn't seem to have much point. hold on through those, and you will find gems, but do bear that in mind. heavy trigger warning for eating disorders and alcoholism.

Dolly Alderton reflect on her twenties and the love she felt and experienced in her twenties with such richness and passion. I feel envious of the depth to all the relationships she reflects on, and I feel comforted in learning about the existentialism surrounding love and ageing is experienced by almost all.

Listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it. I saw a lot of rave reviews about this book and while I loved the exploration of different kinds of love, particularly friendship, I found myself bored at other parts. Still nostalgic, vulnerable, and relatable.
