- very much was a love letter to her best friend - I appreciated that this book didn't center romantic love
- at times felt like the alcohol and hook ups were a bit glorified. It was described as self-destructive inone sentence - and then like a great adventure and loads of fun in the following paragraph.
- While reading I got all the details about the spiral into anxiety and a dark mental place. But the journey into a healthy life didn't receive as much attention in the story. I was left feeling like the dark times were the best ones, they were the adventure - everything that follows just a footnote. As someone who sometimes struggles with not glorifying their own turbulent past this wasn't a great read.
- the book does a beautiful job at capturing the "is this all there is"-feelings when nearing your 30s. And the feelings of jealousy / being left behind by all your couple friends and the loneliness that can sometimes come with being single.

I absolutely adore this book. this is really good if you want like a âbig sister advise bookâ!! I donât agree with everything or every âtipâ she gives but thatâs okay. we can have different views and opinions about stuff. I think this book is very well written and itâs not too complicated to understand.
I did not remember many of the side characters because they arenât really that important in the book as they mostly appear for a short time. The book features a lot of different people and it can be hard to remember all of them but you really donât have to. if you want you can make a small character sheet but I think that itâs only important to know the main characters or the characters that often appear in the book.
this book is about the author, Dolly Aldertonâs life and I absolutely love the way the book is created with the chapters and the smaller lists/ recipes in between. They create an atmosphere where itâs comfortable,easy and fast for me to read.
I love it! I would recommend it to everybody but what I would say is: the last few chapters are very angsty because she just has her 30th birthday so sheâs kind of freaking out and talking about life moving fast so if thatâs something youâre also scared of and donât want to be reminded of it, just keep in mind that the last two chapters are going to be about that. The chapters end with a positive message so itâs okay :))
