As a long time fan of Lana Del Rey’s, I really enjoyed the book. It was similar writing to her recent albums, NFR and COTCC. She (obviously) took a lot of inspiration from Plath and ideas of Americana. All the poems were very reflective on who she is as a person, lover, friend, and singer.

I read this book for a final paper I had to write for one of my classes, and it was so moving. I was crying about two pages into the prologue. Elie Wiesel was an expert at imagery and conveying emotion through writing in this novel.

I am speechless. This book was so moving, emotional, hilarious, and relatable. I’m still so young, I’m only 18, and i found myself relating to thoughts Alderton was thinking when she was 25. This book has really helped me calm down on those thoughts and realize the possibilities that still lie ahead of me and the person I can mold into.

Alderton writes with such a conversational tone that’s so inviting and comforting. I found myself constantly saying “YES” to many of the thoughts she wrote down in the book. Amazing read.
