I love Dolly Alderton’s writing, humour and wisdom. Andy feels like someone that would write in to her agony aunt page completely confused as to why his ex-girlfriend broke up with him. We follow him in the aftermath of this break up for 3/4 of the novel and, at many points, I wished that agony aunt Dolly would step in and reply to him about what he needed to do to come to terms with it in order to make the excruciating spiralling of his thoughts and actions stop. He realises his friends are sick of him and that he is also becoming sick of himself. I appreciated how astute and perfectly observed he was as a character but I was also totally sick of him too at this stage - I just wanted to shake the giant man child and hi-five Jen for dumping him. This shows how brilliant Dolly Alderton is as a writer - but I really did not enjoy some of the novel as a reading experience for this reason. I absolutely loved the last quarter when Andy is further along in the stages of a breakup and where we get Jen’s perspective on what happened. The ending is completely satisfying!

Andy and Jen have broken up after 4 years. Andy doesn't deal with this very well and the book follows a a few months of him wrestling with this.
He's kind of annoying but also quite sweet which I think is a nice balance.
The last few chapters give a different perspective and I found that really made made it a good book. It filled some gaps.

I absolutely loved this book Beautifully written & told. It will make you laugh & cry. I loved Andy & want to know what happens him next! A fantastic book that deserves 10000 stars!!
