A spot-on, wildly funny and sometimes heartbreaking book about growing up, growing older and navigating all kinds of love along the way.
Dolly Alderton is an award winning journalist who has written for publications including The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, GQ, Marie Claire, Red and Grazia. From 2015 - 2017 she was a dating columnist for The Sunday Times Style. She is the co-host of The High Low Show, a weekly pop culture and current affairs podcast, and also writes and directs for television. This is her first book.
Hilarious and moving. Alderton is Nora Ephron for the
millennial generation * Elizabeth Day *
Steeped in furiously funny accounts of one-night stands,
ill-advised late-night taxi journeys up the M1, grubby flat-shares
and the beauty of female friendships, as Alderton joyfully
booze-cruises her way through her twenties * Metro *
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. * Daily Express *
I loved its truth, its self awareness, humour and
most of all, its heart spilling generosity. The power of
female friendships is such great, uncharted territory, and just
when you think it's going one (wonderful) way, it takes you
somewhere infinitely more rugged, complicated and all the
more affectingly tender. A joy. In short, it's a
stone cold classic * Sophie Dahl *
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 * Red
*
Exquisite, hilarious, I loved every page. I was
dazzled by her warmth and wisdom: Dolly has written
an extraordinary book that all women will be able to
relate to * Emma Jane Unsworth *
I loved it so much, I wanted it to go on forever, Dolly
Alderton is so gifted at making people care. A rare
talent * Marian Keyes *
If Nora Ephron is the cool aunt you wish you'd had, Dolly
Alderton is your favourite cousin. I loved it and I
can't imagine anyone who wouldn't; it's a genuine
delight * Kristen Roupenian, author of Cat Person *
Alderton is an old soul - she has learned life lessons
while not yet out of her twenties that many of us
post-menopausal matrons are still struggling with. A wonderful
writer, who will surely inspire a generation the way
that Caitlin Moran did before her. * Julie Burchill *
Funny, sexy and clever, Dolly Alderton is never less
than dazzling on the travails of the human heart. She writes
with breathtaking honesty about falling into lust and out of love,
and each chapter reads like those late night conversations with
your best girlfriend that you never want to end * Clover Stroud
*
Mesmerising, brilliant * Daily Telegraph *
I can say with absolute certainty that you have to add it to your 2018 book list. You will quite literally laugh and cry as Dolly crashes her way through her teens and twenties. This is about growing up and all the mess that comes with it. I loved it.
