THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
NOW A MAJOR BBC ONE TV SERIES

'The book we will thrust into our friends' hands. Alderton feels like a best friend and your older sister all rolled into one and her pages wrap around you like a warm hug' Evening Standard

'Alderton is Nora Ephron for the millennial generation' Elizabeth Day

Award-winning journalist Dolly Alderton survived her twenties (just about) and in Everything I Know About Love, she gives an unflinching account of the bad dates and squalid flat-shares, the heartaches and humiliations, and most importantly, the unbreakable female friendships that helped her to hold it all together. Glittering with wit, heart and humour, this is a book to press into the hands of every woman who has ever been there or is about to find themselves taking that first step towards the rest of their lives.

'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

'Deeply funny, sometimes shocking, and admirably open-hearted and optimistic' Daily Telegraph

'A sensitive, astute and funny account of growing up millennial' Observer

'Alderton proves a razor-sharp observer of the shifting dynamics of long term female friendship' Mail on Sunday

'It's so full of life and laughs - I gobbled up this book. Alderton has built something beautiful and true out of many fragments of daftness' Amy Liptrot

Everything I Know About Love Dolly Alderton

Product description

Review

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

Very, very, very funny. Don't hate me when I tell you that Everything I Know About Love is Sex And The City for millennials, because I mean it as high praise ― Red

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

I thought I knew a lot about love. Not as much as Dolly. Read as soon as possible. ― Sharon Horgan

Not for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 September 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

underwhelming

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

Quite unremarkable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 September 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

Dull.

Self indulgent nonsense from someone who just comes across as spoiled and immature. Her best friend seems nice though, would rather read her book.

Horrible horrible horrible book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

An absolute joy. It made me laugh out loud which I never do whilst reading. I'm in love! I'm keeping it by my bed to turn to in times of need. Dolly speaks such sense and I want to say thankyou for helping me through life at the moment. This came at the most perfect time. Thankyou Dolly x

Funny, but sobering!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2018

Verified Purchase

Really enjoyed this book. We are very similar in age so many of the funny stories she writes about (such as MSN) felt like it could have been me! It's a funny look back at what feels like many of my own youthful experiences but at the same time she manages to remind you of the feeling about what comes after the fun, and maybe it wasn't as fun as you thought! It's a sobering account and whilst funny at times, really made me think.

Inconsequential fluff

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 March 2019

Verified Purchase

You know how footballers and popstars feel the urge to write (or have other people write) autobiographies when they are about 24 years old. Imagine one of these written by someone who hasn't actually achieved anything of note. Then take what you have just imagined, and increase the level of self-absorption by about 80%. Then add a recipe for macaroni cheese (I am not making this up). You now have this book. It really should be called: "This is a book about me. Because I am fascinating. I get drunk and know how to make rudimentary pasta dishes'. There is nothing sufficiently underwhelming in Ms Alderton's life or her accumulated (over 28 whole years!) wisdom that she doesn't feel the need to share. At one (low) point, we get a blow by blow account of her therapy sessions. People who are altogether too interested in themselves go to therapy. Imagine, therefore, how fascinated one has to be by oneself not just to go to therapy, but then to think that other will care about what is discussed.
