The Bridget Jones diary style of the majority of the book isn’t really for me, but I enjoyed the last chapters of reflection in particular. I think this book would be most relevant for a woman in their late 20s or 30s to read, so I might read it again in a few years.

5.0

I laughed. I cried. I learned. I was worried with the first part of the book and the talks of eating disorders (which usually trigger me to dnf books) but, Dolly just got more interesting with each chapter. It definitely felt like either a podcast or a gossip sesh with a friend but the way it made me self reflect, cry, and fall in love with Dolly was incredibly meaningful. I normally take much longer to read nonfiction as I get bored but this took me a fraction of the time.

hypocrisis's review against another edition

lighthearted relaxing

2.0

I didn't hate it. some of the topics touched on were relatable and important to me but they were explored on such a surface level that it didn't bring me any particular enjoyment or insight. the writing style was too forced and stacked with bad metaphors. this is a book written from the worst of white feminist perspectives, privileged, naive and boring while aiming to offer somewhat political takes lol

1.5

Read 130 pages but can’t really remember anything significant that happened. Aside from the fact that she’s an alcoholic, sex obsessed, toxic friend. Also noticed that she likes to travel without enough money and expects people to just save her. 

The few chapters that stood out were the one with the wedding (but i can’t even remember it now LOL), the one with her therapist, and the chapter that followed it. She became a good friend to Farly as she matured, and realized she didn’t need a man. That’s the only good things that happened LOL

I was ready to DNF this book but gave it another chance. I thought it was getting better towards the end, but then ended up getting boring again. LOL. Also, what’s with all the page fillers? We don’t need recipes and lists and fake emails.
