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.

hi_im_annie_'s review against another edition

emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.5

A really lovely book in portraying your 20s, it felt reassuring to me to hear someone else talk about the importance of friendships instead of other relationships. I did find the narrative a little difficult to follow timeline wise sometimes but that is probably more due to me listening to it instead of reading it. I loved the portrayal of platonic love and did sometimes wish there was less about romantic relationships and more about friendships but that's quite subjective.
Would definitely recommend reading this book.

I have little to no complaints about this book except for the fact that i, a chronically single person, read it the week of valentine’s day and was on the verge of tears (both happy and sad) for a majority of the book!

Be the person you wish you could be, not the person you feel you are doomed to be. Let yourself run away with your feelings. You were made so that someone could love you. Let them love you.

a wonderful account on love and friendship throughout life. alderton writes about life in such an accessible way and hones in on the ugly and beautiful parts of growing up.
