This was a kindle deal and since I'm in a bit of a romance mood at the moment, I thought I'd pick this up. I rather wish I hadn't though...
Rarely have I read a book about a more frustrating heroine than this one. Imagine every negative stereotype women have, acumulated into one character. She is insecure about everything concerning her body. The amount of comments about her body from herself and everyone around her were so annoying. She is a size 12 ffs!
And the way she behaves with the men in her life... wtf? That is just not healthy. All her interactions with men are crazy. She goes into stalker mode the minute she meets a guy. She can't realise that some of them treat her like shit and she basically has Stockholm Syndrome with every dude no matter how badly he behaves. She always wants to come back for more... why?
And I understand that it is refreshing to see a woman struggle with everyday problems like her period or farting when your crush is lying next to you, but this was so over the top. Are you really telling me that a grown woman in her thirties doesn't know what to do with a pad and gets suprised by her period every fucking time? Really?
I guess, in the end she makes the right choice, but this took her 99% of the book to figure out. And she didn't even know that she had to figure this out until literally the last second.
So incredibly frustrating! I rarely give 1 star, but this one deserves it. It was shit and I hated every second of it.

“I don’t blame a guy for not wanting to settle for me,- Zara, the skint student who recently used a scrunchie to wipe her arse because she couldn’t afford toilet roll”
WOW this was good!!!!
Started this book before bed and couldn’t put it down so ended up staying up all night reading to finish it.
I loved Zara’s crazy dating life, as a Student Nurse from Glasgow I found her character so relatable but everyone can relate to her!
A must read for everyone! This one will give you a good laugh throughout, an honest account of what it’s like being a woman in your 20’s in Glasgow.

A very easy read. Not a complex piece of writing but it does also feel like Zara’s one of your friends recounting her escapades.

The book is by no means a stroke of genius but for any millennial who has ever had dating trouble, dealt with their fair share of fuck boys or just struggling to find who they are, this is a book for you
Honestly was not so enamoured with this read. Many statements in this book are often things society uses to put women down. For example, the main character constantly talks about having to shave otherwise she can not possibly have sex, another instance is when she talks about weight. It was just tiring and not uplifting in anyway.
