This is book is such an easy and enjoyable read due to how relatable it is for most women in their mid 20’s to early 30’s, but I imagine it would be enjoyable for any gender/age group. 

The memoir is honest and open without being heavy but there are still emotional moments that connect you to Dolly and some of the other people featured. 

The joy of female friendships shines in this memoir and is good reminder that love looks different for everyone.

fr3ckls's review against another edition

4.5

this was a really refreshing read and so different from what im used to. even tho i can’t relate to some experiences (excessive drinking, casual sex and being super independent) there were so many things i could relate to: body image issues, feeling lost and behind my peers and an extreme love for my friendships. the representation of friendship as a central part of life and how for dolly it was the main form of love was a beautiful thing to see. we are taught from a young age to look for romantic love (specially afab peole) but the community, the love, the care we can share from friendships is so healing and important.
the chapter on florence was beautiful but heartbreaking.

in the beginning it was a bit hard to get into, i heard so many people talking about it but i didn’t knew much about the book and the structure itself but after a bit it was easier 
the emails and the recipes where a bit needless (i was so confused with the emails until i realised they were fake/exaggerated versions for “comical” relief(?)), but despite the lack of time structure it was super interesting to read and in the end you got used to it
