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.

A book all the girlies should read, such a beautiful book about the importance of friendship
accessible to the point of being boring and mundane. no surprise that the highlights of the book are the chapters that don't even really focus on her own life.

I just can't with the writing style and am just not connecting to the book
Mildly amusing at best, banal and self-absorbed for the majority.If you found yourself disappointed by this book and the lack of humour within, I would highly recommend [b:How to Murder Your Life 26254947 How to Murder Your Life Cat Marnell https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1493604471l/26254947.SY75.jpg 46252734] by [a:Cat Marnell 8509174 Cat Marnell https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1481492747p2/8509174.jpg], another story a story of a young woman that struggles with addiction which had me racing to see what she did next and roaring with laughter.The majority of the stories in here could be from any number of middle-class white women who went to uni. I'm not sure exactly what is meant to make this account so special?
