“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 GirlsThe wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the rideWhen 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.

“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“Dolly Alderton is one of the foremost “it” writers of our time. Her sexy and tender debut, Everything I Know About Love is a one-sitting book, it is a break-up recovery book, it is a honey, what can I help you with tonight book, it is a this is what your lover should make you feel book. Whatever ails you, Alderton can fix it with her intimate wisdom… 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“Hilarious and moving. Alderton is Nora Ephron for the millennial generation.” — Elizabeth Day, author of How to Fail and The Party“Steeped in furiously funny accounts of one-night stands, ill-advised late-night taxi journeys up the M1, grubby flat-shares and the beauty of female friendships, as Alderton joyfully booze-cruises her way through her twenties.” — Metro“Poignant, witty, comic, and self-deprecating. A laugh-out-loud, lightning quick journey through the years that will resonate with anyone who’s ever been young and in love.” — Daily Express (London)“I loved it so much, I wanted it to go on forever, Dolly Alderton is so gifted at making people care. A rare talent.” — Marian Keyes“Alderton is an old soul—she has learned life lessons while not yet out of her twenties that many of us post-menopausal matrons are still struggling with. A wonderful writer, who will surely inspire a generation the way that Caitlin Moran did before her.” — Julie Burchill“Nora Ephron for the Tinder generation.” — Financial Times”A Sunday Times columnist draws her coming-of-age story with tender flair… Alderton’s portrait exemplifies love. A poignant breath of fresh air for those who struggled—or are struggling—with the dramedy of early adulthood.” — Kirkus Reviews About the Author Dolly Alderton is an award-winning British journalist.

  • While I was enjoying Dolly Alderton’s novel, “Ghosts”, I ordered her memoir, “Everything I Know About Love”. I was eager to continue reading Alderton’s wry and witty way of looking at the word, particularly our culture of love and romance, sex, and gender differences. It’s both hilarious and heartbreaking…like life!I’ve had two, equally great, experiences reading memoirs; one is reading about and relating to a familiar experience, place or time (e.g., Mary Karr), the other is reading about experiences, places, and times that I am completely unfamiliar with. The latter is how I found Alderton’s memoir and I was fascinated! Her coming of age, in and around London in the 1980s to the early 2000s, was a world, a sub-culture, and a dynamic that I found at times repellent, incomprehensible, educational, and always entertaining.One huge “take away” that Alderton rhapsodizes about herein (and which I find to be true), is the importance and value of female friendships.The amazing thing is that Alderton is only 30 at the end of this memoir! I suspect more to follow! After all, now she has two successful books under her belt!
  • LOVED IT!!!! Phenomenal. Only complaint is that I’ll probably have to wait a while for her to come out with another book. I hope that happens, because this is the best one I’ve read in a long while. Super solid and relatable moral at the end. Loved the message and her writing style is fantastic. Also enjoyed her quirky british lingo, some of which I wasn’t familiar with and found very educational and entertaining. Just added to the loveliness of the book!
  • Was looking forward to this especially with the high reviews but i found it underwhelming and disappointing unfortunately. She writes her experiences from being a teen to hitting 30 & it ends there. I can understand why others said it might have been better if she wrote this year another 10 years from now so she’d have more lessons in substance to share of with others. Unfortunately i returned it on the same day of purchasing it to read on my kindle.
  • I never wanted this book to end. Alderton sucked me in with memories from her MSN days and had me in tears as she remembers her heartbreaks and periods of growth. This book is for women who have ever partied too hard, who have felt completely lost after, and have used sex and false intimacy with men to fill the void. Admit it. You’ve been there. Read. This. Book. It was like looking into my own past.
  • A longtime Twitter follower and listener of The High Low, I read this book because I love Dolly Alderton. I ended up gobbling it. Never, ever, have I read something so relatable – I often felt as though I were reading my own diary, becing so familiar with so many feelings and experiences that Dolly so beautifully describes. I didn’t know it was possible to feel so connected to an author, simply by scanning pages. Read this book. Give it to all of your girlfriends, graduates, and every misguided gal you know – it’s a gorgeous portrayal of the reality of growing up and growing into yourself.
  • I needed a good book to get back into reading and i found this on an instagram post of a book reading account i follow. At first the beginning was slow but then it picked up. Might be because i can relate more to the 20-something year old Dolly. I appreciate the honesty and candor of this read. Def wild how sometimes we may think once we’re getting closer to thirty or hit thirty we’re “old”. But in reality we are still babes. Cheers to growing and learning and to being loved❤️🌱
  • This book is absolutely incredible. Every woman in her 20’s needs to read it! I finished it in a day and a half because Dolly’s stories are just too relatable! She offered practical advice, and hopefully I am able to learn from some of her mistakes. I laughed, I cried, I cringed, it’s a beautiful book.
  • Took me a while to get into. But now I love it and buy copies for my friends and family members. It’s real, and relatable. It goes through many different stages in a woman’s life.
  • I think it is well written, however the content was very self indulgent. The start had promise and I hoped it would continue to be an outlook on growing up through the 90s/00s… however in the end I couldn’t finish the book because it irritated me too much; focussing on a small minority of rich spoiled kids with an annoying tone (the humble brag) and bolstered by irreverant stories.
  • I was so looking forward to reading this book after all the hype and the great reviews and was so disappointed. I thought it’d be a fun and thoughtful read but even though the book was easy to read, it felt so superficial. It almost felt like a book someone wrote because they had to. I was hoping on some insights or feeling like I learned something once I finished reading it, but all I can say is that maybe she should have waited ten years before writing this.
  • I cannot understand any positive reviews of this book. Jumps about chronologically speaking which is annoying as are the fillers such as a random recipes/lists.Her stories are underwhelming and describe most people’s student life. She comes across as selfish and jealous and a terrible friend – not a character who you can warm to at all. There is nothing interesting about this woman’s life. If there was a zero star button she’d have it.
  • Self indulgent nonsense from someone who just comes across as spoiled and immature. Her best friend seems nice though, would rather read her book.
  • First of all – wow! British girls know how to have fun.Second of all – the book is stupid, annoying, doesn’t tell you anything you don’t already know. The author’s stories are pathetic/sad/annoying. I really don’t see the reason for listening her moan about how she hated her teenage years because she couldn’t be independent, and drinking on every occasion since 10 years old made her feel like an adult… when she finally became an adult, she spent her uni days getting dead drunk and moaned university gave her nothing.. well, I wonder why that was the case … :/Returned.
