I found this book funny, witty and charming; but only kind of. I went in with high expectations and unfortunately they may have been too high. I think this book is overrated. I was really hoping for more detail and internal emotions about her rendezvous when she was 16 and 17, which is what the movie is about. There is only 1 chapter about this, and it is a brief one. I found myself losing interest many times. I feel like I needed to live in the UK to understand some of the wit in her narrative. It is an honest memoir of someone that I, frankly, do not care about—possibly because I’ve never heard of her.
