For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known. honestly this book low key felt like free therapy. it taught me so so much, and i related to it in so many ways that it hurt. whilst it certainly dived into deeper issues such as addiction, grief and self worth it also has a continuously warm, reassuring energy. it made me feel like everything was going to be okay. So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, "Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared." i want to know what that feels like, to be truly committed to someone, rather than having one foot out the door."

So what I discovered is that it is really hard to pretend that you know nothing as people come and try to teach you then you cannot remain that you know nothing. Becasue they put efforts in trying to let you know, then you have to learn what they know!!I enjoyed it at the start for nostalgia reasons (yes, I remember the modern sound! I remember chatting on MSN!). But after a while, I found it quite repetitive, both of itself (here's another drunk story that I'm officially telling in a disapproving tone but really I'm quite impressed with how mad and fun I am) and just of loads of other writing (let's make fun of excessive hen dos/weddings etc like a million other people, let's talk about being true to yourself and liking yourself first before a relationship etc etc). In other words - this is genuinely one of the most lovely and funny and heartwarming memoirs I've read in my rather short life so far. I LOVE it more than I could possibly say. I laughed out loud (even on the tube which I find daunting) and cried on and off throughout as so many of Dolly's words rang true to me. The main character Randall was likable and you could really feel that his life was being turned upside down. I also liked the state police officer, Susan, and how the author contrasted scenes of her personal life at home with her job hunting down killers. There wasn’t a dull moment in this book and truly nothing in this book is what you think.

Like feeling the sharp sting of a taut rubber band aimed at your sensitive skin.....again and again and again. WOW I wasn’t expecting to love this book as much as I did 😱 I didn’t really know much about this book going in to it, but I am so glad that I read it because it is definitely a new favorite of mine 😍 ⁣ I’ve enjoyed Dolly’s writing in The Sunday Times magazine in the past, but this collection of “hilarious” anecdotes of her making poor choices in men and doing drugs/getting drunk while seemingly not learning much left me feeling frustrated. And the conclusion that female friendships are the important thing overall? I didn’t buy it - all of the stories shared throughout the rest of the book didn’t support this conclusion. Only Dolly’s friend Farly comes out of this book looking good!Finally, it is typically true that the things we aren't great at, we don't practice much. This means that people who are incompetent in a specific area aren't faced with their incompetence often, which gives them less opportunity to correct their errors, exacerbating the deficiencies. I got this audiobook because it consistently showed up in my recommended listening pile and one evening last week I was leaving work with nothing to listen to on my commute, so I made the ill-advised choice of wasting a credit on this pile of trash. Some went angry, Some went shaky&nervous, Some went strange&odd, Some went embarassed&panic&surprised, Some came along and said they didn’t know as well. As one last question, participants were asked to estimate how good they were at recognizing something as funny compared with a typical Cornell student. In its simplest form it means every answer leads to more questions. Every conclusion leads to new beginnings. The more you know, the more you realize how much more there is to know. Here’s a Universal Law, everything’s the same- but different. What does that mean to you?
