3.0
the second half of the book
i’m torn because i think there were some good quotes and i like the way she described platonic friendship love. but i truly struggled to finish it and i think it put me in a reading slump.
i’ve never read any of her fiction work and i don’t think i would want to after my lackluster experience with this book. i know that sounds horrible but i am just being honest :(

Sometimes when I hear myself talk I think ‘wow, I sound so much older than I feel’. I feel 15 all the time. I feel unreal and babyish and shrunk down. And then I’ll have something to say about relationships or expectations or communication, and I’ll be a little bewildered that I have anything ‘grown up’ to say at all.
Last year I must have picked up on the ripple effect of this book; girls online everywhere were talking about girlhood, about the vitality and richness of their female friendships. This book had been making the rounds. I cannot argue with Dolly; the greatest love I’ve ever had has been with my friends.
I can understand how someone could get tired of this book and DNF around 25%. It’s all very white, middle-class, and British. I don’t know how well her party girl bit would have been received otherwise. But I think there is an audience for this.
I’m reminded a lot of Fleabag, but less sad. And Bridget Jone’s Diary. Give this a go if you like either of those.
