A celebration of our female friendships, of our messy years, and of growing up together. Glittering with wit, heart, and humour, it’s a book to share with every woman you’ve ever been lucky enough to call a friend. “Nearly everything I know about love, I've learnt from my long-term friendships with women.” I know that love can be loud and jubilant. It can be dancing in the swampy mud and the pouring rain at a festival and shouting “YOU ARE AMAZING” over the band. It’s laughing until you wheeze. It’s walking along the street together on a Saturday night and feeling an entire city is yours. I also know that love is a pretty quiet thing. It’s lying on the sofa together drinking coffee, talking about where you’re going to go that morning to drink more coffee. It’s folding down pages of books you think they’d find interesting. I know that love happens under the splendour of fireworks and sunsets, but also happens when you’re lying on blow-up airbeds in a childhood bedroom, sitting in A&E or in the queue for a passport. ***** WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ‘A book every girl in her 20s needs to read’ ‘I’ll never stop recommending this book’ ‘This is my comfort book! I LOOOOVE THIS BOOK TO MY CORE’ ‘I wish I could read it for the first time again’ A Sunday Times bestseller, September 2022 TikTok Book Awards Winner, August 2023 Review: Must Read! - This memoir is fun, chaotic, and deeply relatable. Dolly takes us through heartbreaks, bad dates, and quarter-life crises, but the real heart of the book is friendship — the messy, loyal, life-saving kind between women. It’s funny and vulnerable at the same time. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you’ll probably text your best friend halfway through. This one deserves a spot at the top of your TBR. Review: A good read - I really enjoyed many parts of the book. I think Dolly clearly knows how to engage and captivate people into reading her book. Eventhough many parts like drugs and alchol were not familar for me, the friendship, work life and her mental well being were something I could relate to and I felt close to those parts of book. Some chapters were funny, while others made me emotional and by the end, I felt the change in her through her writing. This is simply one of the good memoir and I would highly suggest it to someone in their late twenties especially.

Good, Good, Good!!
This was my second book from Dolly, and she just became my favourite. Her writing style and transperency captured me. Funny, touching and takes you through the rollercoaster of emotions and lands you smoothly at the end.

A Riveting read.
"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳." This book is a wholesome representation of human life friendships, love affairs, heartbreaks, career ups and downs and the wisdom which got collected into the pot through exploration. Her life is gracefully capsulized in a few words, a perfect blend of raw wisdom and vulnerability. The writing is top-notch, witty and hilarious in a humorous way. You feel you are sitting in front of her and having your own VIP experience. The idea of a memoir in the early 20s and 30s is a unique way of expressing how insanely piquant one can be. Who said it's all about good decisions? The wrong one matters equally. Those heartbreaks are the epitome of our resilient self and adoring that part is irrefutable. It beautifully depicts the female friendship beyond companionship, how two different personalities can coexist together and make a home together irrespective of their differences. It touches on the point of self-love". People tend to fill the void in their hearts and look outside for the piece of the puzzle to fit there, which was never a Pokémon to be collected. The amount of time you can resonate with the emotion she has displayed here is insane, everyone is kind of juggling in their own life in a shuffled manner. Overall, it was a riveting read leaving you to contemplate "your pages"!!

loved this one!
I understand that some people don't see the point in the book, because there is no plot in the classical way. But that's what I LOVED about it. It is fun on the one hand and made me cry on the other hand, it has it's ups and downs - and that is just like life is! My personal life couldn't be more different to Dolly Aldertons but I just enjoyed all the stories and just felt so included like I would be part of her life. It's a memoir so don't expect a proper story but more like snippets of a life of someone in her twenties exploring herself, love, her friends, her life.
