Reviews

Very Different Lives

"I definitely don't have the same life experiences as Dolly AT ALL, but I still found the read enjoyable, more so towards the end. I didn't relate much, but I did appreciate knowing that even someone living Dolly's lifestyle can have similar feelings as someone living mine (celibate and alone). Definitely a fun read at minimum."

Horribly depressing garbage, zero wisdom- a waste

"Please don’t waste your hard earned money. This is a terrible book with horrible advice. You will learn nothing valuable here. There are way better books. This is literally a diary your average woman wrote- with zero wisdom, zero takeaways, just a waste of paper. What a shame to know that trees were destroyed to create a garbage book like this."

Her sexy and tender debut, Everything I Know About Love is a one-sitting book, it is a break-up recovery book, it is a honey, what can I help you with tonight book, it is a this is what your lover should make you feel book. Whatever ails you, Alderton can fix it with her intimate wisdom... 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.

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
