""There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it.” —Lisa Taddeo, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Three Women
“Dolly Alderton has always been a sparkling Roman candle of talent. She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls
The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride
When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough.
Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. So relatable. Oscillates between being funny and serious effortlessly. Further, having the audiobook be read by the author herself makes it a fantastic experience. To anyone under 30 and above 30 too, this book will provide insights, wisdom, and anecdotes from the author's life, without ever being preachy.

Witty, Heartwarming and Profound. I am so happy that i picked this book and I am certain that I will go back to this again and again. One realises very quickly that Everything I Know About Love is not a book about men or romantic relationships but a love letter to all of Alderton’s friendships. “Nearly everything I know about love, I’ve learnt from my long-term friendships with women.”

A true page turner. It's a refreshing perspective of a newly minted 30 year old know her 20's.

Nothing but hype. Not completely relatable, true at some places, bit of humor. Read for fun not as a guide or example on how life should be. I was bored 🥱
