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.

But the emotional journey of Dolly's relationships and stories from her 20s were pretty relatable for a 32 year old who has lost one best friend to an untimely death and another due to just growing apart. Dolly expressed these emotions beautifully. And as the narrator of the audiobook, she is damn entertaining.
I wouldn't go to this book for advice by any means - her experience is unique and not a reflection of my own in a lot of ways. But it's... Comforting? It's also an easy, enjoyable read, and it's kind of fun to read the audiobook and Kindle version (America) for the subtle changes in rhetoric.

I loved this book. I must say, at the beginning I felt weirded out by it, just a little, her infancy and teenage years were something. But as soon as we reached the 20's more specifically the 25's I started to adore this book (might have something to do with the fact that I was turning 25 when I reached the part when she's 25), I started to feel so related with this book at that part, so understood. Since reading it I have done nothing but recommend this book. Loved the memoir, I'll be reading more of those hoping to find something like this again. Some chapters are so funny, and some are so chaotic, and there's a couple that are so sad, I just enjoyed this book so much overall that I finished it in less than a week. Please read this book, you won't regret it (most likely)

Aber letztendlich ging es hier doch hauptsächlich um ihre zwanziger, Dolly lebt ein äußerst turbulentes Leben bei dem sie oft auf die Fresse fällte, doch letztendlich lernt sie darauf und wird irgendwann während des Buches besser, hier kommt dann der „lernt aus meinen Fehlern Faktor“ den man eigentlich garnicht ignorieren kann. Denn es ist so klar aber auch subtil ausgelegt, dass man auch irgendwie von ihr lernen will. Dieses Buch ist wie die große Schwester die einem über ihre Erfahrungen erzählt. Aber ein netter touch daran waren auch die Rezepte, kann es nicht abwarten die nach zu machen
