As someone on the cusp of turning 30, this book reached deep inside me and pulled out some much needed nostalgia and epiphanies about the last decade. Dolly is funny and smart, daring and brave, full of good advice and searing insights, and honest about her flaws in a way that is inspiring. You don’t have to be a fabulous blond party girl to get where she is coming from. You only need to be a woman who is living through their 20s and 30s to feel seen by this book. I’d venture to say women of all ages would feel seen, but I’m not in my further decades yet. Dolly’s story telling is vivid and romantic and so personal that you will hear her voice in your head even after you close the book. I loved it every minute of this memoir of sorts. I will be inhaling her next book asap! I highly recommend this book to one and all.

I absolutely loved this book! It went from happy to sad to hopeful every few chapters and it’s message is one of acceptance, love and realising you are enough. Cannot wait to read more from Dolly Alderton!

Entertaining, but no red string

No real concept

All over the place

Random skips ahead and back in time

Im at the stage with love she is at 30 now, so it's wildy unrelatable to me, but that's just personal

I wanted to love this book, that's why I didn't dnf but it did disappoint a little bit

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.
