Award-winning journalist Dolly Alderton survived her 20s (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.

Perfect.

Beautiful and hilarious from start to finish! I cried with laughter and sadness and general nostalgia. It felt good to relate to the experiences in this book. Every 20-something should read it!

Heartwarmingly familiar

Words can’t express how much I loved this book. I felt myself slink back into my memories for not too dissimilar stories, and finding solace in Dolly’s beautifully writer words. From laughter, to cringing I loved every single chapter of this.

Made me laugh and cry

A lovely write up of the millennial 20 something female experience. Dolly tackles all kinds of love and highlights the good and bad side of each of them. It made me laugh and cry - but most of all it gave me an appreciation of the love that I have in my life. 100% worth the read!
