Everything I Know About Love

A Memoir

New York Times Bestseller

"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.

Great heartwarming story of growing up

Very sweet and human. you relate to how she feels at every step and she describes girlhood so accurately.

meh

over hyped, but I do love the message that love is our girlfriends those that love us so fiercely unconditionally.

Mostly enjoyable

Some inconsistence - character contradicts herself. But fun parts, heartwarming relatable parts as well. Good book. Preferred her other novel more

Heart is warm and full

Such a realistic and heartwarming portrayal of life as a girl/woman, the ups the downs, the fun, and the failures. Loved it all

Loved this book!!

Dolly Alderton’s writing is descriptive, gripping, inspiring and hilarious. She is so good at telling her story that she takes the reader back to the same situations that she’s been through seamlessly
