5.0

As someone on the cusp of turning 30, this book reached deep inside me and pulled out some much needed nostalgia and epiphanies about the last decade. Dolly is funny and smart, daring and brave, full of good advice and searing insights, and honest about her flaws in a way that is inspiring. You don’t have to be a fabulous blond party girl to get where she is coming from. You only need to be a woman who is living through their 20s and 30s to feel seen by this book. I’d venture to say women of all ages would feel seen, but I’m not in my further decades yet. Dolly’s story telling is vivid and romantic and so personal that you will hear her voice in your head even after you close the book. I loved it every minute of this memoir of sorts. I will be inhaling her next book asap! I highly recommend this book to one and all.

Felt like facetiming a friend with a facemask on. 

Added a parasocial relationship with Dolly Alderton to my cart.

Didn't change my life, wouldn't recommend to most people. Memoir of a women in her teens and twenties. Conversation around relationships, alcohol, and self-identity.

I absolutely loved this book! It went from happy to sad to hopeful every few chapters and it’s message is one of acceptance, love and realising you are enough. Cannot wait to read more from Dolly Alderton!

challenging dark emotional funny hopeful lighthearted reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.0

Funny and endearing yet somewhat unrelatable. Having never been the party girl, Dolly’s life full of antics didn’t resonate with me. Even still, her viewpoints on love were consistently spot on. Dolly also uses a lot of English pop culture references and refers to places in England that I’m unfamiliar with, so, it was hard to determine what she was talking about in several places. The bond that she has with her girlfriends is admirable and makes me pine for those types of female friendships myself.

The perfect comfort book when all you need is a big hug. Not only is this book about love, but everything in life itself. I think everyone can take at least one thing away from this book.
