How Do You Like Me Now?
by Holly Bourne
Wow, this book was right up my alley! It follows Tori, a successful self-help author in her early 30’s. All of Tori’s friends are either getting married, having kids, or both - while she herself is in a long term relationship with a boyfriend who doesn’t seem to want to talk about any of these things.
Told from Tori’s perspective, this book is witty, unapologetically honest and self aware. It reminds me of Emma Jane Unsworth’s Adults - another book I read earlier this year which explores a similar trope. Both are sarcastic, cynical, and often insecure while still so relatable. Tori definitely has her flaws and can be quite self-absorbed, while I also felt like some parts of the plot dragged on just a tiiiny bit, but I still had a great time devouring it. As a woman in my mid 20’s who’s active on social media, I can definitely identify myself with both Tori and other women that she tends to judge!
