This book was slow to start for me. I just think I wasn't in the right mood for it but it got better as it progressed. It made me laugh, and it made it cry!

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.

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.

This book really shows you the events of growing up and issues you encounter on the journey. I like that some of the chapters weren't really actual chapters, it added personality into the book.

Some parts of the book were great, but it also lost me a couple of times.
