THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER WITH A NEW CHAPTER

Winner of Autobiography of the Year at the National Book Awards 2018
Shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year 2018

Now containing a new chapter on Everything I Know At Thirty.


When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming a grown up, journalist and former Sunday Times dating columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage, finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed house party, getting drunk, getting dumped, realising that Ivan from the corner shop is the only man you've ever been able to rely on, and finding that that your mates are always there at the end of every messy night out. It's a book about bad dates, good friends and - above all else - about recognising that you and you alone are enough.

Glittering, with wit and insight, heart and humour, Dolly Alderton's powerful début 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 - while making you laugh until you fall over. Everything I know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its grubby, hopeful uncertainty.

Critic Reviews

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.
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
I loved it so much, I wanted it to go on forever, Dolly Alderton is so gifted at making people care. A rare talent
I thought I knew a lot about love. Not as much as Dolly. Read as soon as possible.
Honest, funny and touching
With courageous honesty, Alderton documents the highs and the lows - the sex, the drugs, the nightmare landlords, the heartaches and the humiliations. Deeply funny, sometimes shocking, and admirably open-hearted and optimistic

This book was like a warm hug reminding me of all the love that platonic friendships give that romance could never.

Girlhood at its best

When I started this book I thought it wasn't my cup of tea but decided to give it a try because the narration was so smooth and effortless. Then the honesty of her life's account drew me in, then the relatability of it.
The lyrical descriptions of mundane activities or intimate emotions makes the listener wish they could remember each phrase and wish it would not slip away after the book was over. I was won over by her

Falling headlong into Dolly's life

Although it felt like I won’t relate to this story which is set up in the UK, the universe of young friendship, love, heartbreak and happiness was so appealing! The narration is funny and can really crack you up at times. Overall a great book if you’re looking for something that’s easy, light yet compelling.

Womanhood and friendship

Livid first half, Lit second half!
The book is kinda eurocentric.... many experiences which are almost everyday affairs might seem like dream to many despite it being very grounded. However, the story reflects honesty and strikes the chords at a very emotional level.

Chiefly British, but in a nice way.

like it very much but the last 3 chapters were read by someone else and that made a difference to a satisfying ending.

a fun, cozy and fantastic book on being a woman
