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.

This book hit almost every emotion: sad, funny, hopeful, encouraging - but most of all touched what love actually means: not just the hopeless romantics you see in film, the one night stands of your teenage/early twenties, or long term relationships, but true love that comes in friendships and meeting new people and going to new places and everything in between. the intermittent recipes and emails took some getting used to and I found it a little slow towards the middle, but by the end I couldn’t put it down. While the stories in here definitely hit home as a teenager, I can see this book being even more poignant the older I get.
