i listened to this book while driving to and from uni in semester one. it made the drive enjoyable and i often found myself relating her stories to my life and encouraged me to think critically of my own life and behaviours. it was funny and sad and relatable. only reason why i’m not giving 5 stars is because i didn’t love the recipes but understood that they provided a break between themes and stories

Fue muy tedioso y en serio tenía pensado terminarlo peroooo, la forma en que se quiere narrar la historia se volvió muy aburrida y simplemente me dejo de llamar la atención
Además de que en algún punto sentí que solo hablaba, y hablaba, y hablaba de sus borracheras y no tenía nada de interesante 😭
En serio trate de que me gustara pero no pude

An honest depiction of the raw journey through early adulthood navigating life with friendship, love, learning, loss, & self. With sincerity, Dolly demonstrates the change in perspective of love through such personal ways while navigating relationships & their dynamics.

I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, it left me feeling disappointed. The focus on Dolly Alderton being hungover and self-absorbed in her 20s without much else going on wasn't my idea of a fun read. The random emails and recipes felt unnecessary and made the book feel unnecessarily long. The tone of the book, to me, felt like it came from a place of privilege without much self-awareness about it. While she might think the experiences she's writing about—like excessive drinking, drug use, Tinder dates, and one-night stands—are relatable, they didn't resonate with me.
