Lost thoughts: a love letter to a book

If you haven’t read everything I know about love yet, I really hope you will be ordering the book for next day delivery or manically careering towards your nearest local book seller by the time you’ve read this.

The book itself is a beautiful imalgamation of what it is to be twenty and onwards, a love letter to the confusion and chaos of not being a child any more. The book is crazy and bonkers but strikes a chord close to home. I’m our twenties I think there is a sense of expectation and anticipation. The what comes next aspect of life.

You’ve just left home, graduated university, moved out, got an adult job, bought a fish - who knows. You might be doing all or non of the above. Maybe you’ve gone rogue and put a ring on it or are having a baby, emigrating as far as the trans pennine express will take you. My point is, when you are twenty, all your peers are at different points. And Dolly Alderton illustrates that this is okay. And you know what it’s bloody normal.

I’ll preach till I’m blue in the face about this book.
