Addicted After All by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie
2.0

2.5 ⭐

Yet another 500 pages of insightful observations and thought-provoking analyses from Lily and Loren.

Loren about his sister-in-law (yes, sister-in-law, not a dog): "Daisy should be outside or whatever she likes to do."

Pregnant Lily: "If I fall, so does my baby"

Loren: "I may not be the best at anything, but I can be better than mediocre" actually not sure you can hun

Loren: "I genuinely care about other people's everyday lives - it's bizarre."

Lily at a picnic: "I realise that I only brought myself. Which is not really a contribution at all." 10/10 for self-awareness there Lily, no notes

Some of the things that made me laugh:

- Lily's impeccable fashion sense: 'she wears her Wampa cap, dinosaur slippers, black cotton pyjamas and a fur coat'

- When they decided they would name their son MAXIMOFF.

- The whole "one of you will become the CEO of our billion dollar company" plotline. "Either my son, the recovering alcoholic who dropped out of uni, his girlfriend, who is a pregnant sex addict with a raging anxiety who can't really speak in public, my other son, who uses the word fuck in every sentence and only cares about rock climbing and hating me, or his girlfriend, who is 18 years old and an ex-model without a uni degree but with severe PTSD." like surely not all of these should be options
