Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir

New York Times Bestseller

Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true— a wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking memoir from the funny, sharp British journalist and podcast host, who Elizabeth Gilbert calls “a sparkling Roman candle of talent.”

“The older you get, the more baggage you carry. When you date at twenty-five, everyone walks into the bar with a very neat, light carry-on. When you date from thirty onwards, get ready to meet someone absolutely brimming with history, complications and demands.”

When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, writer Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, 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.

The first half of the book was really difficult to engage with; it felt all over the place, and the narrative didn’t capture my attention at all. But in the second half, as the character grew and matured, I started to feel more engaged in her story. At times, I even found myself laughing at certain anecdotes.

For me it was very hard to read 65% of the book because In my personal opinion i could not udentified myself with most of her struggles directly, although at the end I was able to associate and see her maturity and was able to enjoy the last chapters

“Deciding that someone is a good person, or your soul mate, or made of exactly the same stuff as you simply because you both love the music of George Harrison is ridiculous.”
