Even tho I'm in my 20's and I can't relate to most of this book (I'm from a third world country and way too scared of men) it was nice (and scary af) reading about Dolly's experiences with dealing with her ownself, men and friends and all these kinds of love and relationships.
Her little life lessons gave me a lot to reflect and to consider in these years of my life where we are like baby adults trying to find a place to fit.
My favorite parts were when she talks about her friendships with women (specially Fairly), I really loved that.

yet after all, there were a lot of important topics discussed in her book and especially knowing that it was all true and hers made her story so incredibly authentic and real.
and who knows, maybe i’ll think back on this in my twenties.

- raw, witty, funny writing
- loving on your girlfriends
- chapters interspersed with recipes, lists, short stories
- a good cry
💭 my fave quotes:
“There isn’t a pebble on the beach of my history that she has left unturned. She knows where to find everything in me and I know where all her stuff is too. She is, in short, my best friend.”
“You were made so that someone could love you. Let them love you.”
“I thought about how we’d known each other for twenty years and how, in all that time, I’d never got bored of her. I thought of how I’d only fallen more and more in love with her the older we grew and the more experiences we shared.”
“Life is a wonderful, mesmerizing, magical, fun, silly thing. And humans are astounding. We all know we’re going to die, and yet we still live. We shout and curse and care when the full bin bag breaks, yet with every minute that passes we edge closer to the end. We marvel at a nectarine sunset over the M25 or the smell of a baby’s head or the efficiency of flat-pack furniture, even though we know that everyone we love will cease to exist one day. I don’t know how we do it.”
from the acknowledgements:
“And, finally, thank you to Farly, without whose unwavering cheering and championing I would not have written this book. You are—you always will be—my favorite love story.”
gah, i’m in my feels all over again.
