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.
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*
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*
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*
Mesmerising, brilliant
*Daily Telegraph*
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*
I thought I knew a lot about love. Not as much as Dolly. Read as
soon as possible.
*Sharon Horgan*
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*
Witty and insightful
*Sunday Times Culture*
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.
*The Pool*
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*
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*
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*
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*
A sensitive and funny account of growing up millennial.
*The Observer*
Will have you hooked and nodding from the first page. Hilarious and
moving
*Grazia*
Alderton proves a razor-sharp observer of the shifting dynamics of
long term female friendship
*Mail on Sunday*
If you're ever feeling a tad down and need to climb into bed with a
book, Emerald Street would prescribe Heartburn by Nora
Ephron...Fortunately, it now has a millennial companion piece
courtesy of writer and journalist, Dolly Alderton
*Emerald Street*
Witty and warm, this is ostensibly a memoir about romantic love -
and it is filled with plenty of stories about great and terrible
men. But the most touching parts were on friendship, and how
powerful and comforting the love of a good friend is
*Stylist*
I so recommend Dolly Alderton's millennial memoir, which takes you
on an uncomfortable journey through love and anxiety, to an
unexpectedly happy ending. It's just lovely
*Eva Wiseman*
Weaving first-person stories and lists with email parodies and
recipes, it's Nora Ephron for the Tinder generation
*Financial Times*
Her fun and moving stories of bad dates and good friends melted my
heart
*Sunday Mirror*
Funny, touching and wholly delightful
*The Bookseller*
Sure to leave you smiling
*Elle Magazine*
An effervescent guide to millennial life
*i*
Honest, funny and touching
*Evening Standard*
With courageous honesty, Alderton documents the highs and the lows
- the sex, the drugs, the nightmare landlords, the heartaches and
the humiliations. Deeply funny, sometimes shocking, and admirably
open-hearted and optimistic
*Daily Telegraph*
