Like i get that youre kinda saying this isnt life advice cause idk what im doing and no one really does, but also- seems an awful lot like it read as a book of life advice
I didnt like how it was put together: the email(?) letter(?) chapters added nothing for me, neither dod the recipes, and the lists felt annoyingly like she was trying to impart her opinion as factual advice.
The lack of chronology meant the chapters felt anecdotal and meant i didnt really have a connection to any of her friends. There were things that she obviously didnt mean as advice but because of the ordering of chapters got left open.
It didnt feel like she really opened and closed any of the same doors tbh
I feel like what was meant to be informal just became a bit cringey at times.
Not devoid of interesting bits but I definitely dont think it is something that is everyone needs to read in their 20s or whatever
Also i feel like she was like- all of these random stories from when i was black out drunk or obsessed with someone arent what i loved or arent what i am, what i love is what ive learnt from my friends- but then didnt really give us much (especially in detail) of any of the friends apart from Farley,like ok so tell me about that and about how they taight you what you know about love instead of just giving me a cursory page of lists at the end.
‘I do love these stories… but there are quite a lot of them Doll’- yeah… one might say that i actually didnt need to read them all

there were moments of immense wisdom and truly fantastic parts to read, but they were scattered between lots of stories and stuff that didn't seem to have much point. hold on through those, and you will find gems, but do bear that in mind. heavy trigger warning for eating disorders and alcoholism.
