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
Mesmerising, brilliant
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.
I thought I knew a lot about love. Not as much as Dolly. Read as soon as possible.
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
Witty and insightful

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.

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
All stars
Most relevant
I deeply enjoyed this book. The narration was amazing and the storytelling honest, elegant and most and foremost, very entertaining. The book feels like a wide open window into the day-to-day feelings and thoughts of the author and although many of the anecdotes seem banal, they become a fascinating excursion into the psyche of a metropolitan millennial.

Loved it!

It was sweet and relatable at some points and Dolly read the book beautifully - I like her voice. Might recommend to another teen/early twenties girl (but probably no one else) Bit of a guilty pleasure, but found myself thinking about it long after finishing it.

Sweet and Charming
