it is my fault for picking up a memoir about a person i do not know or care about. that seems harsh but it is true. i heard decent things about the book so i picked it up without knowing a think about the author. i only got through 25% of the book and at no point was i given a reason to care about the author and her experiences. would try fiction from this author in the future

I’m empathetic to the author’s message and I’ve always loved reading memoirs and getting glimpses into people’s lives. The platonic love story between the author and her best friend is heartwarming and touching. I didn’t love the recipe sections and the book dragged on a bit for me. It was nothing amazing but a nice read with a nice sentiment overall.

Mmmhh, my feelings towards this book are ambiguous to say the least.
It was definitely a fun read at some points, dolly is completely unhinged. Her friendships were the highlight of the book. I would really love to have a similar one. 
They were definitely some great advises given but others I completely disagree with. The problem with giving advises in a book is that it cannot targets everyone and every situation and I thinks the author did not always take that into account .
Dolly was a bit dumb at some points of her life and really careless which lead to dangerous, albeit funny, situations . I could not see myself in her, I will never behave like she did. Netherveless, it was still enjoyable to read about the wild things she did, I got to "experience" things that I would have never done through this book.
