#bookrecommendation #bookreview Good Material by Dolly Alderton. TBH, I didn’t plan to recommend this book—until I got to the end. In fact, 2 chapters in I wasn’t sure I could finish it.

While the author is a brilliant writer and clever storyteller, I HATED the narrator, a 35yo balding, neurotic, insufferable, struggling comic pining for the woman who dumped him. If George Costanza and Larry David had a baby and dumped him in England, he would grow up (?) to be Andy.

I couldn’t figure out why Jen (the girlfriend) or any of his friends ever put up with him. And then, at the end, we finally hear from Jen, and her POV made the entire painful journey worthwhile. I even found myself liking Andy. A little. What a beautiful, satisfying, powerful and empowering ending.
