I was dreading it for the first 35% of the book, picking it up was like making your way through the torment mostly because I found it utterly unrelatable. Not that everything I read has to be relatable but I didn't find it funny nor interesting to read about an abandoned sheltered child turned out alcoholic who somehow found a great pack of friends and a job despite their problems with various substances. 

I stuck through it mainly for the writing, but then I cried as I read the chapter about Florence, and I thought how important the ending chapters would be to the younger me. Just proving the author's point that you don't need constant validation from anyone (especially a man), that you are enough, and showing it through her own experiences. 

It's not something groundbreaking that wasn't said before, quite frankly it has been said many many times but in this book it doesn't sound cheesy or condescending. And I actually quite liked how it wasn't really about love as much as it was about friendships, loss and making peace with yourself. I'd be happy human being if fiction authors write friendships exactly like in this book.
