Everything I Know About Love

The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride.

"... particularly entertaining as a kind of middle-class Bildungsroman, with tales of drunken romps through London, drug dealers called Fergus and pricey late-night cab rides up the M1... Nora Ephron for the Tinder generation"  -   Kitty Grady, The Financial TImes

When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and - above all else - realizing that you are enough.

"Alderton paints British suburbia in hyper-colour while drawing herself as a woman who’s prone to excess. How her view of love matured is steeped in anxious charm, striking a clever balance between painful humour and self-forgiveness... Alderton’s portrait exemplifies love... A poignant breath of fresh air for those who struggled - or is struggling - with the dramedy of early adulthood."  -  Kirkus Reviews

Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.
