Audiobook Read like a podcast… LOVED. So relatable but also very real about Millys own experiences, expectations and privilege. A good listen on a journey, long walk or as a female in the 20s-30s
I loved this as much as I was expecting. Which is very much! I listened to the audio book and it was definitely the right choice because Milly has such a good narrator voice. It really feels like she just opended her head and shared her inner most thoughts. Thoughts which I also have. Her way of thinking feels really familiar. I see myself in her a lot which is why I am really glad that I found her instagram and thus listened to this book. I would 100% recommend this book bc it is such a genuine view on life as a twenty something girl without romantic love in her life.
Thank you Milly for writing about normal things girls in their late twenties go through & think about. Felt so relatable, so real life. Thank you for sharing your notes app with the world. I enjoyed it very much & can’t wait for more in the future 😉 no pressure though. For now I will just watch your journal style videos 🥰🥰
Going to be honest, I only pre ordered this book to be entered into a giveaway and win a MacBook and facegym facial and some other fun bits, of course I didn’t win so I started reading this book with a bit of hostility. Milly isn’t my fave influencer, I do like her but I was thinking I’d buy this book when it had a deal on in a few months. Lovely easy read tho, digestible and not too long for the topic. Sometimes books like this can drag and feel boring, and don’t get me wrong it wasn’t easy the whole way through, but mostly was good. Sometimes I found her a bit ‘woe is me’ and self-obsessed but as I reflected, surely that’s what a book like this is meant to be? And she is quite self aware of this which I respect. So I tried to keep this in mind. But apart from that it was a great read, and she is so sweet. It felt very real. Well done girly xxx
okay first 5 star review in forever. hallelujah! I’ve been searching for a memoir that would make me feel how Dolly Alderton made me feel the first time i read everything i know about love, and here it is but specific to the gen z girl in her twenties. reading this was like reading my own inner thoughts and worries and experiences written out. kinda eerie actually but extremely comforting. felt like a deep talk with your best friend where you both keep saying ME TOO i’ve never told anyone that before but i feel the same way! easy to listen to in the best way, i was so engaged the whole time i didn’t want it to end. love love loved it. I feel so inspired to write now. we all feel like we are the only one having certain thoughts or having certain feelings or struggling or whatever and we just simply are not. it’s the best feeling to be reminded of that.
3.5 Very similar to Everything I know about love by dolly alderton in a good way. I think Millie put some of the experiences she has had in such a beautiful and vulnerable way although I do think that this book, along with everything I know about love, are relatable to a very small audience. I'd say the experiences are very specific to a small cohort. Nonetheless, the audiobook was great (i love her voice) and I think some of the chapters really hit home - how did she get in my head?!
OMG ! Had the pleasure to meet Millie at the signing the other day and went home and binged almost all of it in one sitting ! I have never felt more called out in my life 😂 I could literally relate to every topic. Fast paced, funny and makes you think but reassures you at the same time. Also, Millie is the nicest and most gorgeous person ever!!! 4.75⭐️
Please check trigger warnings. A couple of tough topics discussed in this one. A couple of quotes that stood out to me. “Your weight is the least important thing about you” and “I feel like I am always apologizing to someone.” These really resonate with me as a late 20s woman. Also funny enough I wrote these in my notes app. 🤪
Thank you Milly for being so open and vulnerable for your audience. So refreshing and much needed.

I decided to listen to the audio of this and I’m so glad I did. It felt like listening to one of my friend’s podcasts.
It was so relatable and genuinely felt like I was sat with my gals having a wine and having some therapy chat. There were some moments where it felt a bit ‘pick me’ and that’s the only reason I’d not give it a 5.
this was one of my more anticipated books to read this year ever since Milly had announced it on her various socials. it felt like a warm reassuring hug on the inside my brain, validating every experience and feeling i’ve too gone through one too many times before 🫶🏻
one of my most anticipated books of the year!! i love milly goldsmith and this book was the perfect extension of her tiktok videos. she made me want to get my journal out and put my thoughts onto page.
I liked it. Also I saved 20 bucks and got to see a cute neighborhood I wouldn't have otherwise seen by preordering it for pickup in London!! thnx Milly
