'Good Material' by Dolly Alderton

Good Material, Dolly Alderton (3.0)

While I didn’t dislike this book, I found it a predictable, whiney, long-winded journey through a rather typical break-up that would have been greatly improved with some humor. Given the main character is a stand-up comic, I don’t think I’m asking for something outrageous. I feel this topic has been done better (e.g. ‘High Fidelity’ by Nick Hornby) in the past. This was like a Millennial update with post break-up social media stalking added to make it timely.
