Without knowing it, this book is exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Though I don't relate to all of Alderton's experiences, I resonated with her worries about love in the modern world and feelings of comparison throughout your 20s. Her vulnerability, honesty, and growth really touched me and I cried a few times towards the end of the book. I'm coming out of this book feeling immensely grateful for my female friendships and relieved that my twenty-something experience is a shared one.
I didn't understand the satirical emails and random recipes throughout the book. Not positive what exactly these bits added besides additional humor? Or just a way to break up the structure?
Overall, I'm really grateful I got to this book when I did. I think it would be a good read to revisit in a few years. I am holding this one close to my heart.
