A real life Bridget Jones, Dolly Alderton shares her heart and soul (and the shadows between them) in an astoundingly honest and relatable way.
I felt so understood by this memoir and found myself laughing and crying throughout. Her depiction of female friendship is so accurate and I can’t help but hate her (in a jealous, admiring way) for having so much of it.
Her language is candid and easy going. As a novel where so many stories are set in bars having conversations with strangers or friends, so too do you feel like you’re sitting at the bar having Dolly share her life story with you. At least for me, it felt like a two way conversation with lots of nods, “mhms,” and reminiscing on my own life experiences.
I highly recommend this to all 20 something year old women — especially to the single ones.
