5.0

I'm a almost 18 year old teenager. There are so many things that this book talks about that I probably don't underdtand in the way the author was expecting it -specially because I'm not the target audiende, of course. But I can feel a bit more peaceful now about getting into the polemic tweeties and getting older everyday, I can now feel less worried about having so bad luck in love (and at the same time still being bad at love), and I can feel more grateful with the strong friendships I've made already and I want to keep them as long as possible. Reading some else's experiences and life lessonsit's so relaxing for me, makes me feel in company of someone wise (?), and I find the writing so comforting and accessible to anyone. I truly recommend this, I think it's a kind of lecture that anyone can and should read at some point of their life.

Dolly Alderton reads as this generation's Bridget Jones. Listening to this as an audiobook felt like getting a warm hug from an old friend. A very light-hearted yet captivating read.

It's a good book but many elements maybe will not fit the life of people. It's still a good book, it's very reflective about life. Its have good advice but as I mention not everything is for everyone. But still is a good book to read at least once.

Witty, funny, insightful, sad, beautiful, honest.
Page 305 is possibly the most beautiful page in a book I have ever read.
