Perhaps the genius of Good Material is just how uncomfortable Dolly Alderton makes you in the first half. Being stuck inside the mind of a 35-year-old man-child who’s just been broken up with can be infuriating at times, and yet I was still rooting for Andy to figure it the f**k out.

Her writing is so good that I actually enjoyed the experience of watching him (very) slowly gain self-awareness and the cherry on top was ending the book with Jen’s perspective.

I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
