Holly Bourne is so good at putting the female experiance into words.
I love how she writes female friendships, and how every emotion is so well written - its almost as if she stole them right from you.
I would suggest checking trigger warnings first though.
One of my favourite quotes:
"How many sorrys do I accept from men who are saying sorry but doing it anyway?"

I don't necessarily enjoy her books in the same way that I do a cheesy chick-lit, but I suppose that is usually the point?

Hard hitting and difficult to read at times but oh so raw and real. I didn’t think much to Joshua, but April was such a relatable and well-written character.
Brings up some important topics and thoughts about dating, who we present ourselves as, and the realities of se*ual as*ault and toxic masculinity.
