katnavala's review against another edition

emotional slow-paced

2.25

While I appreciated some of the chapters I found to be a bit boring and way too slow. There is so much that could’ve stayed out of the final draft. At times it was easy to relate to Dolly but at others it was way too difficult if you’re not from London. She names a lot of places that seem quite relevant to the story but if you’re not familiar, it would be hard to keep up with. The one thing I really liked was the honest and intimate description of Dolly and Farly’s friendship. I enjoyed seeing every aspect of it, the good, the bad, the dark secrets and the unconditional support.

For me this was like reading the diary of the older sister I never had.

Even tho I'm in my 20's and I can't relate to most of this book (I'm from a third world country and way too scared of men) it was nice (and scary af) reading about Dolly's experiences with dealing with her ownself, men and friends and all these kinds of love and relationships.

Her little life lessons gave me a lot to reflect and to consider in these years of my life where we are like baby adults trying to find a place to fit.

My favorite parts were when she talks about her friendships with women (specially Fairly), I really loved that.
