Faaast 5 Sterne, denn ich weiss ein Buch ist gut wenn ich es nach dem fertiglesen vermisse und gar nicht so richtig mit dem neuen anfangen will. Ich mochte das Memoir von Dolly Alderton wirklich sehr und bin schon mit recht hohen Erwartungen rein und muss sagen, anfangs hab ich noch bisschen gebraucht, aber ich habe es echt so enjoyed zu lesen. Ich fand manchmal auch die Autorin echt bisschen crazy, als sie beispielsweise sich so extrem gewünscht hat, dass der Mann von ihrer besten Freundin und sie sich trennen. Aber halt irgendwie auch echt und authentisch. Ich hab mich auf jeden Fall wie eine von Dollys Freundinnen gefühlt und hab jeden Schmerz echt krass mitgefühlt und war so invested. Ich hab durch das Buch echt viel an meine nächsten Jahre rumstudiert, die 20iger und nachher die 30iger, wann ich vielleicht heirate oder eben nicht und ich musste ganz arg an meine tollen Freundinnen denken und dass ich mir wünsche, dass wir uns nie auseinanderleben und für immer beieinander sind. Vielleicht hittet das alles nochmals anders weil ich gerade aus einer intensiven Beziehung komme und das alles einfach so real ist.

I think this book is so divisive because the specific events themselves are not relatable for everyone, and some of her actions might leave you thinking, what the F, Dolly?
But if you’ve never felt jealously, let crappy men control your emotions, or made mistakes in life and love - especially in your youth and early dating adventures - you’re lying. Dolly owns up to her own bs and delivers a a raw and honest look into womanhood - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Not everyone might be able to relate to her specific struggles, but every person I know goes through the same emotions of self-doubt, anger, confusion, sadness, and momentary stupidity that Dolly describes in her memoir. Ultimately, this is a book about struggle, growth, identity, and attempting to figure out what defines you and where your priorities lie throughout your teens and 20s. And I think that is a very human experience.
I also found the book reminiscent of Sex and the City, and how female friendships ultimately shape who you are more than the fleeting men in your life. If you enjoy that show, you’d probably enjoy this book.
There are many observations about womanhood and dating in the modern world that resonated with me. I understand how it’s not for everyone, but personally I found it refreshing and witty.
