This book feels like a pat on the head and an understanding ‘you’re bonkers, but I am too’ nod from a best friend when you’re going through the smallest or largest things in the wild ride that is growing up. It's laugh out loud funny, but what shouldn't be underrated is how much comfort I think it will bring. The honesty Lex shares by letting us into pockets of her life makes you feel trusted as a reader, and that you can have these kind of open conversations with your own friends, parents and partners too. Putting the reader, especially a young person, on the same level as the writer is an art, and Lex has nailed it. Buy this for every teen you know, I wish I'd had it to navigate life.

I really loved this book! While it is probably aimed at someone a big younger than me (I’m 27), I still really enjoyed reading it. Sometimes it’s just nice to read 271 pages of things you agree with.

I really think people who are still finding themselves or are growing into themselves will get great value out of the way Lex talks about life!

I honestly mostly skim-read this, was just feeling a bit phd tired and wondered if some positivity would help. I enjoyed the jokes, and there were some helpful reminders, but a lot of it I did know and maybe I wasn’t the intended audience (did get it a few years ago to be fair). Do enjoy Lex but I’m glad they’ve started writing fiction now.

This felt like a really good chat with a friend who wants you to realise just how good you are and how well you are doing.
