This comment about influencers always confuses me a bit. I don’t have any black friends. I live in a really white area, there was only one black person in my year group at school, and literally have about three friends #introvertlife
Zoe’s problematic in lots of ways, but I’m not sure this is one.
(Feel free to call me out/educate me, always happy to learn!)

Black people are more energetic and open? By their nature? So the colour of someone's skin determines their personality? And here we are talking about racism

You know the quote 'dress for the job you want, not the job you have'. Well Zoe's decided she will dress for the tits she wants, not the tits she has. I honestly can't get over it, you could fit a small dog in there.

Honestly I think the reason Mark doesn’t address his sexuality is because he is an uncloseted gay man and is making no attempt to hide that, because it’s not important. It’s not as if he has made up a pretend girlfriend who we don’t know. Or tried to imply he’s straight. Unless I’ve missed something? He’s just going about his business. This isn’t a pop at anything that’s been said here it’s more the preoccupation with the ‘is he gay’ thing from the fans. There’s no need.

I think for a lot of people it is actually nice to hear someone popular say that she likes being a "granny", sitting at home and doing things that don't require lots. Because not everyone likes adventures and the pressure that society puts on people to do more and test your boundaries etc is huge.
And for young people especially there is this image as if you always should do something exciting and amazing and if you say you just sat at home, the respond is like wtf! I didn't love going to parties as a teenager and I always felt weird and bad when someone asked what did you do on the weekend, waiting to hear crazy stories, but I had nothing to say.
So in a way what Zoe says and does is nice - being at home and enjoying that more than wild adventures is nothing to be ashamed of. Probably a lot of people can relate to that.

I can imagine why she feels stuck in the relationship.
They’ve been together for 8 years, and during that time Zoe has rid herself of every close friend she had that isn’t related to Alfie Deyes. She spends Easters, birthdays and Christmases with the Deyes’, Poppy’s the closest female friend she’s had in recent years, Holly, if I’m not mistaken, was Alfie’s friend/cousin first, Brighton is Alfie’s home town. Mark is the only friend *she* has left, but he was a fan of hers before anything else, and a sycophant even now (though I like him and do think he’d be supportive when they break up).
And I get it - she likes the way Alfie’s family operate, the way he’s been brought up, the way they’re still very close. They probably share values, politics, and life goals. Alfie, Poppy and Sean also have the same weird job she has. They understand each other’s work, and Brighton is the hot-spot for progressiveness and innovative careers in the first place. Alfie and Zoe even share offices there. It sounds like a match made in heaven - on paper.
I think, to her, her own family has become fragmented. They are no longer a whole. Her home is on the market (thanks to the user who posted about it being on rightmove - it’s lovely and Lacock is a truly idyllic place). Going to her parents probably doesn’t feel like going “home” anymore, but to some foreign, unknown place. I’m also pretty sure both her mum and dad have new partners and Christmases might be awkward and “unfestive” to her around them.
I can see how she might think of losing Alfie as losing family, friends, hometown AND Christmas all at once. That would be daunting to anyone. Zoe might not end up being the best wife or the best mother, and even if I haven’t been a fan of her business practices and ghostwritten lies in the past, I still believe family is more important to her than anything else. She lives on nostalgia, on simpler times when she watched Home Alone and her parents were together and Christmases were fun. She desperately wants family, and she desperately want to recreate her memories and regain that joy with her own little family. She likes rainy days because everyone’s home, having a hot meal and willing to indulge in her dreams of cosy togetherness. IMO she’s latched onto Alfie not because of some sort of extraordinary love, but because Alfie is the key to all the families she desires - his family and a new family.
Breaking up is hard, but it’s harder without your own support group. From what I remember, Zoe wasn’t all that supportive of Louise when she divorced Matt, and she barely acknowledged Pearl’s birth on social media. How karmic that she’s all alone now. I hope Mark and Joe will be there for her in the end. I can’t help but wish her the best.

I get what you’re trying to say, but maybe that’s what she feels comfortable/confident in?
I don’t like this narrative that women should wear things that are ‘flattering’ - we should be able to wear what we like without people speculating that we’re pregnant!
Wowwwwwwwww

... Why, on god’s green earth, would she think that an apostrophe needs to go there?!
Apostrophes are for contractions, or to show possession... Exactly what did she think was being contracted or possessed here?!
Again: if you’re going to make-believe that you write books, at least TRY to be believable! Her writing is about as convincing as me telling everybody, “Look! I’m a racing jockey!” and running round town on a micro scooter making “clip-clop” noises with my tongue.

Aldie has a nerve, he's one to talk about teeth! She has better teeth than he does imo (both before and after his denture adventure). Maybe she was going get the Invisalign because he wanted her to, and not that she wanted to herself?
