I read this while I was in college and it was too relatable. She references that phase of her life within the text and it was thoroughly validating and reassuring as she continues to speak about life after and beyond her youth. I absolutely loved this memoir and have recommended it to all of my friends and family members. Especially my female companions. :)

Dolly expressed my exact feelings in a way that I could never put out myself! Such a great read for someone in their late 20s who feels like their life is in limbo.

If you ever feel like you are in need of a book to pick you up! This is it. It will hit you in places but in the right way.

Dolly encapsulates the joyful memories of youth with the daunting anxieties of age in a clever, witty and artfully written novel. I loved the way she closed each chapter with something to take from it and ranged in topics. By the end, my definition of love felt like it was healed in a time I needed most. Uplifting and real, 5 stars!
