Her relationship started off in the most serendipitous way, a way I was so thankful to the universe for. The stars had aligned for Lizzy and it was so bloody good to see her excited and happy, and falling in love.

Felt like talking to a friend, so open and honest about their own experiences, sometime too honest in the chapter on sex, lol. But genuine helpful advice on everyday issues and an easy read.

'What turned out to be the pivotal thing for me at this time was that I didn't know myself without him. I didn't know my limits; what I needed in a friend; how to trust myself; what kind of sex I liked—I was a chameleon. I adapted like a social shapeshifter to please everyone but myself because, in essence, it was easier than trying to think about what my true thoughts or feelings were.'
