Anatomy of a Single Girl by Daria Snadowsky

3.0

“The more I hurt, the more I knew I loved, and that felt like a good thing. So that I'm letting go of the pain means I'm also letting go of the love.”

I'm actually pretty surprised myself that I actually enjoy this read.
I didn't know what I was coming into as I honestly have not read the first book.
Picked this up from the library as the cover was interesting, the title intrigued me and the blurb was making me curious.

I needed a quick easy light fun read and that's what it gave me.
I read this in one sitting.
The plotline of the book was very straight forward, dry science humour which I never really got since I hate science honestly.
Enjoyed the topics the plotline covers on from breakup, love, heartbreak, sex, friends with benefits, cheating, flirting, being single, flings etc.

It's definitely a coming of age phase for young adults trying to understand their body, sex, relationships and all.
I love that nothing was perfect, things that happen was cringe, awkward confusing because honestly that's what it all is.

We follow Dom who was trying to figure out her body, her sexual needs, her break up, being alone, being in a relationship.
I love that she is awkward and she knows what she wants for example the importance of getting tested, saying what she is uncomfortable with.
It's part of the process of growing up and getting to know yourself and your body.
Even in the end, she is trying to figure out herself because it never ends, it all changes.

I love the small interaction we get with side characters ; her bestfriend, her family.
We get to see their side of what love or relationship is.
I enjoy the different take with Guy, it's not just oh I broke up now onto the next love of my life.
The honesty of flings, friends with benefits etc.

A good quick read, interesting take and starter conversation on safe sex, sex, consent etc.

“I can’t be happy going out if it’s not . . . going anywhere.”
