I laughed. I cried. I learned. I was worried with the first part of the book and the talks of eating disorders (which usually trigger me to dnf books) but, Dolly just got more interesting with each chapter. It definitely felt like either a podcast or a gossip sesh with a friend but the way it made me self reflect, cry, and fall in love with Dolly was incredibly meaningful. I normally take much longer to read nonfiction as I get bored but this took me a fraction of the time.

Foi como fazer uma amiga numa noite e ficar a conversar com ela até ser dia. 
How I love being a woman.

"It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me."
Emotional, raw and tangible with some real good examples of how to do and not do your relationships, though it would have been better if I had related more to Alderton's life experiences (but do I wish to relate to alcoholism though?...)

All the parts where the story of her life went on were interesting and nice to listen to, but the more life guide -like parts that tried to be funny weren't really funny at all and made me cringe and wish they had been cut out. Still worth reading/listening to, especially if your sense of humour is different from mine lol

The part about getting older in the very end was my favourite one, as I have been experiencing a continuous aging crisis since I was effing 13 and it's still going strong now at 20, I'm absolutely horrified about turning 30 and yes I keep rambling on and on but yeah read this book especially if you are in your 20s or 30s thank you and bye

Dolly felt to me like the big sister I never had. A hug. That’s what this book was.
