Cautionary tale

This book is a test for how much can you handle second hand embarrassment

Luke is an asshole

This might be one of the most embarrassing situations I’ve ever read about. Rebecca hid the zebra print trousers in a shop she’s working in just so an actual customer couldn’t buy them

I truly think she has a money spending addiction

Actually pissing myself laughing, she’s ridiculous

J’ai vu le recommendation sur « tiktok » apparemment c’est bien à améliorer ton français. J’ai hâte!

Her point on refraining from immediately asking someone about romantic relationships is very powerful and perhaps my favorite one. Honestly, it reflects a deeply internalised male-centricity to open up a conversation with your friend by enquiring about the welfare of a man. Why not ask her about herself first. Very reflective.

There’s nothing to be afraid of walk into your own arms!

The glow up that ensues after a good dumping is so hideously fantastic, you won’t even recognise yourself

With the expectation of perfection comes disappointment

We often idolise people who highlight something we feel we are lacking within ourselves

The chapter on the male gaze was insightful especially the very real examples of women existing with recognition of male threat. Walking with keys in your hand, taking a taxi, there were so many

The ultimate act of self-love is to know when to walk away from toxic relationships hmmm

Interesting musings on sexuality, ghosting and self-worth in dating

You date someone’s emotional maturity not their jawline

People on the internet don’t owe you anything!

Being you authentic self forces you to see if people deserve a place in your life

We are all responsible for our own healing

If you do not know yourself or your boundaries you’ll be looking for other people to tell you who you are !!!!!!

Présent exactly what you want and need, and if they can’t match it then at least you know. They were never for you and that’s okay

I like this section

“If we can learn to view other women as opportunities for inspiration and empowerment in our own lives and realise that there is enough room for all of us to be happy.”

It’s a good point that sometimes we dislike other women because they are making choices that we ourselves are too afraid to me

I think it is true that in relishing in other people’s flaws we hope to minimise our own or to avoid dealing with our insecurities

When you settle for crumbs it sends a message to that person that that’s all you think you deserve. Interesting.

She finally put the heat on! “Single doesn’t mean waiting for someone”
