Glittering with wit, heart and humour, this is a book to press into the hands of every woman who has ever been there or is about to find themselves taking that first step towards the rest of their lives.
*************** ‘Alderton is Nora Ephron for the millennial generation’ Elizabeth Day ‘Steeped in furiously funny accounts of one-night stands, ill-advised late-night taxi journeys up the M1, grubby flat-shares and the beauty of female friendships, as Alderton joyfully booze-cruises her way through her twenties’ Metro ‘Deeply funny, sometimes shocking, and admirably open-hearted and optimistic’ Daily Telegraph ‘The book we will thrust into our friends’ hands . .
. that will help heal a broken heart.

Alderton has built something beautiful and true out of many fragments of daftness
