Critic Reviews

"I loved it! Dazzling observations and snarky one-liners, with a heroine who is vulnerable, funny, intelligent and feels So real. I wish I'd written it!" (Marian Keyes)

‘Confronting, heartbreaking and hilarious - a timely parable for modern anxiety as well as a timeless examination of men, women, sex, desire, friendship, family and the female psyche...I completely and utterly adored it." (Dolly Alderton)

"So funny, arch and tender...A must-read For anyone who has ever wondered what it means to be a daughter, a friend or a mother, when sometimes you don't even know how to be yourself." (Jessie Burton)

Loved the book. Really confronting into the metal impacts of social media.
Only thing is it can get a bit confusing, or maybe it’s a bit rushed, all the emails, IM chats, insta posts ect in audio form. Think it would be easier to read on paper.
But still a a great easy listen

Great Book - Probably Better as Hard Copy
