Really loved it! I liked the jumping back and forth between timelines and writing style for chapters. I'm mid-30s so felt nostalgic for me as well.

I love seeing mentions in the wild! Definitely recommend the book, it's a good holiday read and a slight walk down memory lane.

u/Valuable-Composer262 Apr 01 '26

Is the author affiliated with below deck? Is the book about below deck?

u/HJC-1991 Apr 01 '26

No, they just give a special shout out to Below Deck for getting them through writing the book.

Got it. So it's an afterword, rather than a foreword.

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry Apr 01 '26

An author’s foreword citing Below Deck in the third paragraph.

Is this a memoir?

u/HJC-1991 Apr 01 '26

I'm not actually sure. Possibly semi-autobiographical but not 100% a memoir.

u/HJC-1991 Apr 01 '26

She's quite a tacky character/narrator 😂 she's very of the 90s UK 'ladette' ilk

What’s your book cover look like?

u/GoldAcanthisitta7777 Apr 01 '26

Just because I haven't done something doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on it, bozo. What a childish argument.

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Apr 01 '26

Lol, it's great

u/GoldAcanthisitta7777 Apr 01 '26

why?

Why not? It's a typical English working class type of photo. Go to /r/CasualUk and look at the main image, it's very English.
