I really loved this. I feel like I truly GET Dolly Alderton as an author. I adored Ghosts and this one was fantastic as well. 

This is such a witty way to poke at male relationship stereotypes while exploring women's roles in them. The ending was, perfection! I don't want to spoil anything but what a clever move! 

Dolly Alderton feels like an author writing literary fiction in the voice of a rom com in the best way possible.
