This was really stunning. Every twenty-something year old woman can relate to Dolly’s stories in one way or another. My favorite quote: “I am enough. I will never run out”

Very sweet and nostalgic , cosy feel, very comforting and honestly just such a feel-good book. Read it so quickly because every time it was so easy to sink back into it

let me tell you, reading this at 18 was a surreal experience.
i fully expected not to like this book, for the simple reason that dolly's life is utterly unrelatable to me. i'm not a social butterfly, i'm not a millenial, i'm a socially awkward mess. but maybe that's the exact reason why i soaked up her insights and advice like a sponge. insights about things i've never experienced.
and though dolly and i don't even share the same generation, i could relate to a lot of her fears—losing friends through growing up/apart, the fear of getting older and not being where you expected to be, and the feeling of slowly running out of time.
everything i know about love gave me extreme fomo, but at the same time also eased some of my other fears and worries about life. i loved dolly's takes on therapy and (female) friendships and platonic love.
will definitely re-read in a few years.

Honestly I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. A delightful reading experience, emotional as well in some part.
