    I find really interesting how the author depicts the changes in British tourism from the 70s to nowadays, from tourists who are polite and want to experience the place they visit to tourists who are loud, rude and entitled, who feel the right to find their own culture in the place they visit instead of enjoying the new culture.

    Through the different stories, we see a beautiful and poignant description of how Mallorca has changed since the tourism boom, showing us how the island's inhabitants have suffered the massification and gentrification of a place that remained nearly untouched for years. I felt sadness while reading too-close-to-home descriptions of people trying their luck at hotels and failing, and people who feel displaced due to the change in tourism 😢

    Audiobook is a MUST. Bob has a narration style completely unlike any audio book I’ve ever heard. Absolutely love it already!

    This comic book tells a story of generational misery and sadness, in a background that's quickly changing but at the same time frozen in time, where drugs and prostitution riddle the streets. Having been born 10 years after the time when these events take place, it was actually so crazy for me to recognise the city I love and at the same time seeing it for the first time, that's how much it's changed since the author's teenage years. Couldn't give it a full 5⭐ review because there are some written segments between the comic pages that made the story a bit confusing and difficult to follow 😬

    I picked up this book thinking "oh a semi autobiography in comic format, that could be nice!" Well, here I am holding my head in my hands, thinking of the MASSIVE changes Mallorca and its inhabitants have gone through since the 80s The art reflects the capital just faithfully enough for me to recognise some city landmarks, and at the same time it's giving me a lot of insight into how things were back in the 80s

    Thoughts from 24% -- Mid Chapter 3

    Why do men feel the need to grope a 18 year old 🤮

    Besides that, this memoir is amazing, it feels like I'm just chatting with Kelly Bishop while we share a cup of coffee! Also, reading/hearing how she expresses herself, I can see now how much of an excellent choice she was to play Emily Gilmore 🤩

    So far, the main opinion I have is that adults suck and anyone under 25 is nice 🤣
