i love no plot just vibes literature about women navigating their youth and i love the narrator she's just like me but also we could not be more different and i hate her and she's so representative of every women in their 20s right now yet her experiences seem entirely unique. need a physical copy

i fear i am not at an age where this resonates with me, nor did i learn much :( however, i greatly admire the empathy that alderton has for everyone writing in and their situations! her writing and narration always makes me feel like i am catching up with an old friend
