"I could never have predicted how many people would read my story, and thank God I didn’t otherwise I would never have been as candid as I was when I wrote it.
This book is about my friendships, but it’s about your friendships too. This book is about the people who lived alongside me in a very ordinary, very special time of life.
This book is a love letter" - Dolly Alderton
Glittering with wit, heart, and humour, it's a book to share with every woman you've ever been lucky enough to call a friend.
