Sinopsis
Toda relación tiene un comienzo. Ésta tiene dos finales. De la autora del bestseller internacional Todo lo que sé sobre el amor. Más de 1 millón de ejemplares vendidos. La voz de la generación millennial. Andy está enamorado de Jen. Jen estaba enamorada de Andy. Y él no entiende por qué ella ha dejado de quererlo. Andy, un monologuista de 35 años, intenta procesar su ruptura con Jen, con quien llevaba cuatro años de relación. Está destrozado emocionalmente y su vida a los treinta está muy lejos de ser como esperaba: su carrera no termina de despegar, se ve obligado a compartir piso con un anciano paranoico, se da cuenta de que los rollos de una noche no están hechos para él y, por si fuera poco, su grupo de amigos cada vez resulta más difícil de convocar porque están todos felizmente casados. En un momento en el que todo lo que creía saber sobre el amor y la amistad se ha vuelto irreconocible, Andy se aferra a la idea de resolver el rompecabezas de su relación rota. Porque si puede encontrar las respuestas, tal vez Jen pueda regresar a él. Pero Andy todavía tiene mucho que aprender, sobre todo, la versión de los hechos de su exnovia, quien parece tenerlo todo bastante más claro.

5/5.
WHAT. A. MASTERPIECE.
I have lots to say about this book but Ill keep it to the briefs.
1. Dolly Alderton is the only woman I have ever encountered that writes womens fiction without hating women. By this I mean, this book is written mostly from the perspective of a man grieving a horrific breakup that, in all honestly, would drive nearly anyone into a deep, dark madness that they may/may not ever completely recover from. But the most compelling part of this story is that Dolly manages to take the reader through the mania, the bargaining, and the desperation of searching for control in a situation that you did not choose to be in, and she does it without making us hate the woman who has caused the breakup.
2. I think it was very important to have a section from Jens perspective at the end of the book. It gives so much clarification to much of the breakup, and pulls the reader from the typical pedestalization of a protagonist that inevitably occurs in fiction. Andy is not perfect. Jen is not perfect. I see bits of myself in both of them. Which, as a writer, I know is very very very difficult to accomplish. The complexity of these characters on such a molecular level is stunning and inspiring, to say the least.
3. Finally, a shoutout for womanhood. Jens struggle with wanting to exist outside of a relationship and the implication that all women want to have marriages and children struck such a chord to me, as someone who is learning to be in relationships with men while hating being in relationships with men and planning a life without knowing if I ever want to be a mother.
Dolly, you are, as always, my literary hero. 615 s12 comments Alyssa Trigg117 46
Being stuck inside the head of a 35 year old man with the emotional bandwidth of a teaspoon is truly the seventh circle of hell. I d every single character in this book better than I d Andy. Alas, his character was a clever satire that captures the zeitgeist of our current male dating pool. I was constantly infuriated by him and I was refreshed to finally read the last chapter in Jens perspective. Reading Jens chapter was reading thoughts scooped out of my own brain, and Alderton deeply understands the liberation of being a woman satisfied with her own identity who views romantic relationships as add-ons to life rather than necessities. 910 s38 comments Catherine375 171
