Stunning!
A wholesome, real, candidate and warm book that made me laugh and (almost) cry. So beautiful. Lily seems like the type of friend I’d want in my life for sure!

I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short, sharp conversations that range from living in New York to toilets! With the central theme of age and growing older it does seem a little repetitive when you read it all in one sitting but it was just so witty and easy to read that I couldn't put it down.

3.5 stars. Although Lily Brett deals with the fears and challenges of ageing, as well as the loss and pain associated with it, this is overall a fairly light-hearted book. Her writing is very accessible and the snapshots highlighting the funny and sad parts of existing in the world and of growing old were simple, effective and beautifully portrayed. I can’t say this book impacted me profoundly, but I really enjoyed my time with it and would recommend if the topic interests you. It’s also a bit of a love letter to New York City, which is almost a character in and of itself.
