I agree that they shouldn’t be expected to paint their experiences as if they are all roses - some of the stuff they have touched on experiencing as actresses is horrendous and I think it’s really positive of them to share that realistic view.
Same goes for the rejection they experience but there should be a bit of a balance… I mean Jessie doesn’t seem to acknowledge that the reason she got to write a novel (and has a deal to write a second) is because she has some level of fame…It’s a huge luxury that she gets to stay at home and write for a living, others with far greater talent than her just wouldn’t have the opportunity, and so a level of acknowledgement of that would be nice and would fit more with the frank and honest persona of Jessie’s most of us were drawn to in the first place.
I guess they remind me of lots of women I know and probably to some extent myself and I’d just love them to stop being so down on themselves but also accept that they aren’t owed the world and are very very lucky. Does anyone else have women close to them who harbour a man like Alfie? Women with an extra man child who they hold on a pedestal… It’s so archaic and irritating yet so common!!
) and being the girl he's chosen to be with, out of all girls, must be intoxicating for Jessie. It'd probably be hard to give that up and let another girl settle down with him. I think of it as the Annette Bening Effect 
people will always think there must be something unique and magnetic about you if you're the only one who can get him to settle down and commit.
