This book isn't bad at all but it just isn't my kind of book. I rate based on enjoyment and I just didn't enjoy this. The chapters felt pretty long, maybe also because I wasn't interested in the content.

A fun and relatable read. Liked the characters and can (just about!) remember feeling like they described in my 20's! Defo worth a read when your fancying something easy going

A really good read! As a 23 year old I really related to the characters and their problems! I will definitely be rereading this in the future!

A fun and engaging read about a group of friends in their mid twenties. I enjoyed reading about the relationships between the women and how they dealt with every day struggles.

3.5 stars

I think this was a good reflection of how messy life is in your 20s. I might have appreciated it a touch more when I was still in my 20s but then it’s not like I’m any more together in my 30s so I think so of my issue was that it wasn’t quite the read I was looking for. It was funny and a little chaotic, as life is but I think I wanted less slice of life than I got. It probably didn’t help having the multiple pov though. That’s always killer to me as I inevitably grow attached to one character more than the others. Not to say any of them were bad, but it’s always inevitable one person and storyline grabs more of my attention than the others.

I was really excited to read this as I enjoy books about female friendships but unfortunately I struggled to finish this.

The characters felt rather forced and the overall story was quite cliched and therefore predictable.

The premise is great and could be a brilliant read for someone else so I would give another Ali Pantony title a chance but sadly, this one wasn't for me.

Firstly, I'd like to thank Netgalley and Penguin Random House UK for gifting me an eARC for an honest review!

In this brilliant women's fiction, we follow the lives of 4 amazing women, Edele, Mackie, Nat and Alex, each chapter narrated by one of the four. Very close friends, we see them all struggle with life that is the '20s' but with the beautiful support from each other. This book had me laughing and crying, smiling from ear to ear to anger. I absolutely loved it. Each of the women are individual and we can see this very well through their own separate narration. I didn't feel that there was a dull moment in the book.

I have to say, reading books that have been written quite recently, I love how climate change, equal rights, feminism etc are all incorporated into the writing, which I never saw when I was reading when I was younger. I love how these things are becoming normal! Mental health was handled really well, with Nat going to therapy, and dealing with her hateful inner voice. Mackie, not needing a relationship to be happy but following her career. Ed still living with her family at 27. Alex normalising questioning her relationship and whether forever is what she wants.

This is a beautiful book that focuses on 4 strong women and their amazing friendship. They support each other no matter what. I definitely recommend!

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

I enjoyed reading this, the relationship between the friends come across as realistic and normal, including everyday scenarios.

This was a very fun and engaging read. The best part was definitely the friendship between these four women. They all had their own issues but they would be stood by each other whenever it mattered. It was really nice to see no unnecessary drama created just because. There was also a lot of humour to it, especially British humour so I especially enjoyed it, and I definitely found it relatable on more than one occassion.

I can't give a full review for this book because I just couldn't finish it. I found the 'millennial' references forced and the relationship between the four main (stock) characters too clichéd. Whilst I can appreciate there will be plenty of fans of this book, unfortunately I'm not able to be one. Clearly it just wasn't for me.

I enjoyed this. It was a truly relatable read and I would recommend it to all "Almost Adults" out there. It was well written and very humourous at points. A book for all girls on the cusp of"proper" adulthood,.

This was a good read; well-written although slightly predictable at times. It was also very funny at points, and relatable. Would recommend.

The story is about four best friends Nat, Edele, Mackie and Alex, each juggling adulthood, life and relationships, but even when things get tough they are always there for each other to help pick up the pieces, support and make each other laugh with some help from booze, fun, drama and mayhem.

Each of the women are so very different but their quirky loveable personalities all compliment each other's flaws and one thing that shines through is their strength, bond and loyalty.

I loved this. Really warm and funny, but also so relatable and realistic. I'll recommend this to all of my millennial friends – and I already have to a few!

The ultimate story about friendship, about growing up, finding out who you are and what you value in people the most. And ultimately, how those around you shape what kind of person you become.
It explores the difficulties of growing into an adult and how you can be the best possible version of yourself as a friend to others.m
A wonderfully written interweaving plot line, developed from each of the characters points of view.
It really is a lovely, emotional read.

This book was fine. Unfortunately for me I liked the concept better than the execution, I just never really connected with the characters and so didn't feel as invested in them and their stories as I wanted to.

Wonderful novel with fantastically relatable observations about life as a young(ish!) person figuring out the world. Particularly loved the dialogue, which was sharp and deeply satisfying to read, like overhearing a good conversation on the bus.

loved this book - would 100% recommend and am looking forward to reading what this author writes next!

I wanted to enjoy this novel but it was not for me and so I could not finish it. It will appeal to a twenty something readership but I could not identify with the characters.
