I really enjoyed my first non-fiction read of 2021. It is the memoir of Dolly Alderton and her experiences of relationships, love, friendships and life in her teens and twenties. It discusses lots of serious topics, such as alcohol and grief. Definitely check out the content warnings as this book got quite dark.
Dolly lives a life of booze, parties, one-night stands and clubbing. This book confirmed to me that this isn't what I want to do with my life (nothing against the people who do but its just not for me)
My favourite chapter was 'Enough'. It made me cry and I was so glad that Dolly was finally able to see her worth. Even if you don't want to read the whole book, i would encourage you to try and read just this chapter as it will help a lot of people to understand how special and perfect they are in this world and hopefully help them to see their worth.
Farly seems like the sort of friend everyone needs in there life, she seems so so lovely.

I know it’s a memoir but this was a very self absorbed insight into the life of a white, middle class thirty year old who has drunk and done hard drugs. There’s really not much else to it.
Some passages are beautiful but they’re drowned out by privilege.
I’m always skeptical of memoirs written by people who are thirty or younger and this is why.
