"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.

Experiences of a priviliged white hetero woman. This book is the definition of white feminism and what’s wrong with it: entitlement, unawares and just a lot of privilege.

ok eu definitivamente não estava esperando gostar TAnto desse aqui! que narrativa interessante, dinâmica e aconchegante!!Uma realidade de Sex and the city, mas na verdade talvez seja a garota de ‘Meu ano de descanso e relaxamento’ da Ottessa Moshfegh encontra Serena van der Woodsen!! e tudo isso me fazendo chorar com cada cena…Uma conversa direta entre nós e ter 20 e poucos anos, e ser quase milenial (no meu caso, a autora eh mesmo rsrs, te entendo, querida!) e todas as crises envolvidas!

Cleverly written and compelling story. At the beginning it feels like 'just' a diary of a hopeless romantic coming of age. Which in a sense it is, however as the book progresses, the story does too. The build-up of the story and development of the characters are superbly done.Also really nicely read by the author. Highly recommend it!

It made me feel welcomed, as if all my fears and doubts about life were okay, just a part of growing up.Dolly's memories could easily be a characters story, nothing but made up moments to make us feel something. But the fact that all of that happened. That all of that is all humans being humans, and finding out the lows and ups of life. It's just beautiful.The writing is catchy and funny, and really intense when need it. I felt like Dolly was a big sister telling me all her adventures and guiding me through mine.Most of all, this pages made me feel like it's going to be okay.I don't have to have everything figured out, I don't need a boyfriend or a man to make me feel hole, I can make stupid decisions and regret. I can just be human.

This book put my mind at peace. Now I know that I'm not wrong if I'm not like Farley, content with my relationship and not thinking about all the possibilities.
