Overall good, I heard a lot of praise about it but didn’t look up what type of book it was exactly so my expectations were a bit off. I didn’t go into it expecting it to be as autobiographical. But there are still a lot of relatable things to pick up on the way.

Read 130 pages but can’t really remember anything significant that happened. Aside from the fact that she’s an alcoholic, sex obsessed, toxic friend. Also noticed that she likes to travel without enough money and expects people to just save her. 

The few chapters that stood out were the one with the wedding (but i can’t even remember it now LOL), the one with her therapist, and the chapter that followed it. She became a good friend to Farly as she matured, and realized she didn’t need a man. That’s the only good things that happened LOL

I was ready to DNF this book but gave it another chance. I thought it was getting better towards the end, but then ended up getting boring again. LOL. Also, what’s with all the page fillers? We don’t need recipes and lists and fake emails.

i really really wanted to love this book and there were definitely parts i loved and enjoyed but it also contained a lot of aspects and decisions i didn’t understand

the first third of the book felt very slow and i found the drug and alcohol abuse in that part very frustrating but i enjoyed reading about her twenties a lot, which might be due to the fact that i’m in my twenties

not sure who i would recommend this to
