Good Material

Good Material by Dolly Alderton

I mean we don’t have to talk about how much I love Dolly Alderton. She’s bloody funny and I appreciate every moment of it. So here she is writing a break up novel from the point of view of the male? A break up he didn’t know was coming and the result? A sad sad guy and a bloody good story. This really is a great read. Andy’s character is everything. The guy who works multiple jobs to make ends meet, a circle of mates, previous relationship history but of course then there is the one he thought was forever. But wasn’t. I appreciate reading from this POV and I think Dolly nails it.

The relationships which dwindle, new ones that are formed, the low point of careers in the arts and generally asking ‘how the fuck do you move on from the one you thought was the one?’ All the things.

I’m a Dolly fan. I’m a Good Material fan. Get around it.
