this book lowkey feels like barbie
there were moments of immense wisdom and truly fantastic parts to read, but they were scattered between lots of stories and stuff that didn't seem to have much point. hold on through those, and you will find gems, but do bear that in mind. heavy trigger warning for eating disorders and alcoholism.

4.5

when i first picked this book up, i was going through it a little (very very lonely) and reading it made me feel even lonelier because it felt like dolly was having fun while i was sitting at home doing nothing. however, as i read more and more of her story, the more i understood the points she was making. like no shade, but at first i was like this girl needs to calm down. but then i was like ohhh i get why she did that. watching her spiritual journey unfold in the span of almost 400 pages was fun and i recommend every woman 18 and older to read it. i definitely will re-read this when i'm in my 20s, and maybe i'll be able to do this in a week or so.

Dolly Alderton reflect on her twenties and the love she felt and experienced in her twenties with such richness and passion. I feel envious of the depth to all the relationships she reflects on, and I feel comforted in learning about the existentialism surrounding love and ageing is experienced by almost all.
