Embarrassingly, I didn't know who Dolly was before this book and therefore I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it.. Luckily, I really did. I read this over two evenings and boy if I could have stayed up to finish it without destroying my next day at work, I would have done.

From the very first page I was engaged. The writing style was perfect for the time of book, it was easy to read, nice to follow and very familiar. I did however, find myself skipping little bits of the book like the recipes or letters.

I could relate to Dolly in so many different ways throughout the book, it had me both laughing out loud and crying.

Despite the funniest and nonchalant outlook, it is clear that Dolly dealt with Grief and other loss. This is never dismissed and it highlights beautifully both sides of the coin.

This wonderful book is for anyone, literally anyone. It will either be so familiar it hurts your head or it'll open you up to a different perspective. Either way, I would recommend.
