TW: Eating Disorder
Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love is a love letter to friends, female friendships in particular, and more specifically to her best friend Farley. I cried at their love story, and Florence’s story, and many other stories in this book. I also laughed, sighed, cringed, winced. So much of it was so relatable, so much of it was inspiring, so much of it was relevant to me. I recommend this book because it might not be everything there is to know about love but it is some genius insight into what it means to a lot of people. I’m ever so grateful for my female friends. ‘I thought of the blissful mundanity of life; of what a privilege it was to live it.’

This is book is such an easy and enjoyable read due to how relatable it is for most women in their mid 20’s to early 30’s, but I imagine it would be enjoyable for any gender/age group. 

The memoir is honest and open without being heavy but there are still emotional moments that connect you to Dolly and some of the other people featured. 

The joy of female friendships shines in this memoir and is good reminder that love looks different for everyone.

An enjoyable book with lot's of funny and vulnerable moments. I respect the author for letting the reader into her dark and light moments which can help others realise their own mistakes and that this feeling of being behind or lost in life is not unusual. However, I was hoping for some more concrete lessons as opposed to stories - as the book says this is a memoir, not a self-help lesson book I was expecting. I would also like to point out that as the author is a white British female author, her life and memoir is reflective of this and so lacks some diversity, but this is not a problem of the book as it was just the reality of her life, this is just something to note about how culturally rooted and (un)relatable the book is.
