32-year-old Nina Dean, a successful food writer with a loyal online following, navigating the world of online dating, complicated friendships, and coming to terms with her parents aging, is an interesting and relatable read. 

It is light, funny, with some heartfelt moments, and does a good job of highlighting the double standards when it comes to how men and women act and accept responsibility in relationships. 

What stood out to me the most was how Alderton does a fantastic job of showing us the changing relationship between a woman and her parents. It is hard to see the people you love grow old, see their health deteriorate, and watch them become a shell of who they were. Alderton delicately handles the matter and shows the reader that this is something that we can get through.
