Everything I Know About Love

A Memoir

By: Dolly Alderton

Narrated by: Dolly Alderton

"There is no writer quite like Dolly Alderton working today and very soon the world will know it.” (Lisa Taddeo, author of number one New York Times best seller 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 best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls)

The wildly funny, occasionally heart-breaking internationally best-selling 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.

Fantastic

This is a wonderfully light-hearted story. The narration/voiceover performance was great. Very relatable narrative for a woman in my late 20s. I LOVED the chapters “Everything I Knew About Love at XYZ age” - spot on. The ending is also adorable. Highly recommend.

The easy connection to the book

LOVED the personality.. So easy to listen and follow along! So many relatable feelings and stories. So good!!

My opinion

Did not find it to be very enlightening. Would not recommend it to others for listening.

Narrator

I enjoy listening to the narrator tell the story and it was an enjoyable listen.

I love her honesty and vulnerability

Honestly this is probably my favorite book I’ve listened to all year. I love how raw and honest Dolly is and how I could relate to her and Farley’s experiences.

Great 20s book

Super relatable, reads easily, a fun listen! Enjoyed it throughly. Loved the audio version. Loved it!

A lovely story to read and hear

This was just beautiful. The story really resonated with me and the emotion in Dolly’s voice came through perfectly. Thank you for writing!

Great heartwarming story of growing up

Very sweet and human. you relate to how she feels at every step and she describes girlhood so accurately.

meh

over hyped, but I do love the message that love is our girlfriends those that love us so fiercely unconditionally.

Mostly enjoyable

Some inconsistence - character contradicts herself. But fun parts, heartwarming relatable parts as well. Good book. Preferred her other novel more
