Really loved this read! I can relate to so much of it, female friendships are just so wonderful. This felt like chatting with a best friend! x

Yes you need to read it!! Let me know what you think - I think her style of writing is so clever in the way that it connects to so many people and feels like you’re on the sofa in your PJs on girls night. I haven’t read Ghosts yet but have it on my shelf ready to go!

yes! I totally agree! I really liked Ghosts and actually listened to it as an audiobook while running, and it held up in that format too. But then of course I went back and read bits of it in physical format and it's just as good. I can't wait to read Everything I Know About Love!

Oh my gosh I LOVE this read!!! I finally read Everything I Know About Love last year after seeing Dolly at Hay Festival, and her relationship with Farly reminded me so much of my relationship with my best friend. Dolly and the book is a welcome reminder of just how important the women in our life are.

Have you read Good Material yet? It's on my list!

Thanks Soph - I'm so happy you liked it!! I love that it's such a celebration of women, I feel like growing up everything I consumed was all about girls being catty or mean girls etc, and it's so refreshing that the narrative is finally shifting.

I started listening to the audiobook and loved it so much that I decided I needed to read it when I could completely immerse myself in it so I'm taking it on my summer holiday! Loved what I've heard so far though!
