Great book, made tons of notes! Definitely thought provoking, excited to talk about it! Couldn’t put it down for about 85% of it. The last chapter was really disappointing and felt unrealistic. I wish we could have gotten more of her conversation with Lola instead of her yelling at Jethro. Her feelings about Max and his absence felt so real until the end too, then they kind of just disappeared.

dolly alderton has a way of just absolutely nailing the experience of single women in their twenties and thirties and the complexities of navigating female friendships during that time. this book was funny, emotional, tender, reflective, and real
