Read this on my period and it had me reflecting on my romantic and platonic relationships hard. Just called my therapist to make an appointment after ghosting her for a full college semester. I took a lot of good from Alderton’s wisdom, many perfect anecdotes for my notes app, but can’t help but feel sad after finishing because it’s a memoir. Real life, not a fantasy and a reminder that life is flawed and not wrapped up all nicely with a bow on top. Go after life. That’s my takeaway.
