to be honest, i think i’m simply to young for this book. while i really enjoyed reading about dolly aldertons experience in her twenties and what she grew to learn and realize, i haven’t been confronted with the problems she had to deal with yet. and that is simply due to the fact that i’m not in my twenties and therefore could not relate to a lot of things she wrote about. and that not just in experiences and thoughts, but also in mundane things such as shows and music she adored. the gap between her millennial personality and my gen z character could not be crossed easily.
yet after all, there were a lot of important topics discussed in her book and especially knowing that it was all true and hers made her story so incredibly authentic and real.

and who knows, maybe i’ll think back on this in my twenties.

this book is incredibly well written and the audiobook well narrated. dolly alderton knows her shit and how to articulate herself. i found this book to be incredibly relatable for the most part (not so much the turning 30/existential crisis part, because i’m 19 and barely and adult lol, but the rest). this book speaks about societal pressures, romance, eating disorders, unhealthy coping through drug and alcohol abuse, growing into adulthood and out of your childhood, the importance of platonic love(!!!), loss and grief, letting go and accepting and sooo much more. no matter your age, this book has something important to say to you and you have something valuable to learn from it.

As someone on the cusp of turning 30, this book reached deep inside me and pulled out some much needed nostalgia and epiphanies about the last decade. Dolly is funny and smart, daring and brave, full of good advice and searing insights, and honest about her flaws in a way that is inspiring. You don’t have to be a fabulous blond party girl to get where she is coming from. You only need to be a woman who is living through their 20s and 30s to feel seen by this book. I’d venture to say women of all ages would feel seen, but I’m not in my further decades yet. Dolly’s story telling is vivid and romantic and so personal that you will hear her voice in your head even after you close the book. I loved it every minute of this memoir of sorts. I will be inhaling her next book asap! I highly recommend this book to one and all.

Felt like facetiming a friend with a facemask on. 

Added a parasocial relationship with Dolly Alderton to my cart.

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.

I absolutely loved this book! It went from happy to sad to hopeful every few chapters and it’s message is one of acceptance, love and realising you are enough. Cannot wait to read more from Dolly Alderton!

3.0

Funny and endearing yet somewhat unrelatable. Having never been the party girl, Dolly’s life full of antics didn’t resonate with me. Even still, her viewpoints on love were consistently spot on. Dolly also uses a lot of English pop culture references and refers to places in England that I’m unfamiliar with, so, it was hard to determine what she was talking about in several places. The bond that she has with her girlfriends is admirable and makes me pine for those types of female friendships myself.
