This book was slow to start for me. I just think I wasn't in the right mood for it but it got better as it progressed. It made me laugh, and it made it cry!

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.5

A really lovely book in portraying your 20s, it felt reassuring to me to hear someone else talk about the importance of friendships instead of other relationships. I did find the narrative a little difficult to follow timeline wise sometimes but that is probably more due to me listening to it instead of reading it. I loved the portrayal of platonic love and did sometimes wish there was less about romantic relationships and more about friendships but that's quite subjective.
Would definitely recommend reading this book.

Be the person you wish you could be, not the person you feel you are doomed to be. Let yourself run away with your feelings. You were made so that someone could love you. Let them love you.

a wonderful account on love and friendship throughout life. alderton writes about life in such an accessible way and hones in on the ugly and beautiful parts of growing up.

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!
