I didn't hate it. some of the topics touched on were relatable and important to me but they were explored on such a surface level that it didn't bring me any particular enjoyment or insight. the writing style was too forced and stacked with bad metaphors. this is a book written from the worst of white feminist perspectives, privileged, naive and boring while aiming to offer somewhat political takes lol

Read 130 pages but can’t really remember anything significant that happened. Aside from the fact that she’s an alcoholic, sex obsessed, toxic friend. Also noticed that she likes to travel without enough money and expects people to just save her. 

The few chapters that stood out were the one with the wedding (but i can’t even remember it now LOL), the one with her therapist, and the chapter that followed it. She became a good friend to Farly as she matured, and realized she didn’t need a man. That’s the only good things that happened LOL

I was ready to DNF this book but gave it another chance. I thought it was getting better towards the end, but then ended up getting boring again. LOL. Also, what’s with all the page fillers? We don’t need recipes and lists and fake emails.

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.

i really really wanted to love this book and there were definitely parts i loved and enjoyed but it also contained a lot of aspects and decisions i didn’t understand

the first third of the book felt very slow and i found the drug and alcohol abuse in that part very frustrating but i enjoyed reading about her twenties a lot, which might be due to the fact that i’m in my twenties

not sure who i would recommend this to
