I don't think I have ever read a book that felt as much “me” as this. While reading it, I was constantly thinking: if I were to write a book, this is what it would look like. (In my dreams ha!) Granted, not much happens in the plot line, but there is no need because the inner monologue was ingenious! I think this book is written by one of the most observant smartest writers I have ever read. Dolly Alderton manages to make incredibly witty and smart comments on the pressures and issues women start to face after their mid-twenties - from friendships, to relationships to general structural problems in society. I took a long time reading this book because I wanted to savor every bit. While this book surly isn't for everyone (I am the perfect audience for it) I loved it and will definitely come back to it in the future. Just listening to the inner thoughts of the protagonist makes it so engaging that I didn't want it to end and it left me wanting more.
