I basically loved the book. Thought it was going to be like a romantic comedy and found myself reading kind of a biography which made me both laugh and cry. A book for every woman who feels a bit out of place in their twenties. Bridget Jones is back!

I've been waiting for this to come out in paperback for a while, and I'm so glad I snapped it up! Gordon's lighthearted memoir of twenty-something single life in London is hilarious, relatable and a great deal of fun. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Enjoyable and funny, but at the same time has the power to shock.

I'm kind of angry that this book was published. It feels very wrong to market a book like this to young women who are struggling with the exact same issues the author deals with - personal insecurities, low self-esteem, the consequences of poor choices - and yet it offers no insight or solace to the reader. I understand why many would find it funny and frivolous - and based on several years of singledom in London I did relate to several of the places the author was coming from (and going to) in her "decade of chaos" - but it left me feeling sad and strangely serious about how the book felt very, very irresponsible.

This book had me laughing to the point of tears at some parts. I am not yet twenty, yet even I could relate to so many experiences (the embarrassing indie stage anyone?) and I'm sure most, if not all, other readers could too.
The writing style makes it seem like you are being told this riveting tale by your rather candid best friend, or even better, a drunken stranger you've just met in your local, who will become your best friend. Bryony Gordon is my new Caitlin Moran.
I adored this book, everything about it. It is brutally honest about the life and loves of a modern woman but remains hilarious. The ending, in which Bryony sums up what has became of her life, had me in floods of relieved tears.
I recommend this book to all women who feel they aren't getting anywhere, and all people who read and loved Caitlin Moran's How To Be a Woman.

I don’t know what propelled me to pick up this book or why I thought I’d find it interesting, but honestly glad the author was able to share her story so unapologetically and with a lot of self-awareness. That’s the only positive thing I can say about the book…
