Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir

I love this book, very good and casual read. I am 18 year old girl and found it to resonate with me.

I actually thought this memoir was really fun. The email/letter chapters were so funny and I agreed with a lot of what she was conveying in them. I also enjoyed the recipes thrown in as well. Some laughs, some heartbreaks, some hard truths but a fun read

This book is really good I just believe I not the proper audience. Dollys relationships with others and herself change and grow as she gets older and we see how she deals with each of those relationships. I quite enjoyed it as someone who grew up with budding technology and as a woman in general growing older. I believe the separation comes in as I am a queer American woman. Where’s Dolly makes a lot of allusions to living in London that sometimes makes it harder to follow along. Along with being queer almost all of her struggles revolve around her relationships with men. When I was younger I did used to center men so I was able to relate but as she got older and life for her became a party it was hard to see myself in her. Not saying that she did anything wrong I just believe it is a difference in the type of people we are. I really did enjoy the chapters on her relationships with friends as it is very unique to girlhood and thought it would end strong. Also with her chapters growing older. I am still in my twenties but even now I feel that weight of getting older. But then it comes back around to dating as an older woman. I loved her message but like I said I just think it wasn’t for me. She is a beautiful writer and I will definitely check out her other work as well.

If you don’t like books that are about the struggles and stories of teenage years to late 20s this book is not for you, if you do YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT! Dolly really brought to light the struggles we all face in life and growing up. This book reminded me very much of Not that kind of girl by Lena Dunham. Many people hate on this book as it “doesnt talk about love” they are completely wrong in that. Dolly talks about love in both relationships, family, friends and the love for ones self. This is a memoir not an educational or self help mind opening book which i think alot of readers forget. Its the stories of dolly and her friends as they navigate their way through life. There was many times I was reading and it reminded me of my own friends and own memories of growing up. I highly suggest reading this. Such an easy fun and lighthearted read!

I saw this book a lot and decided to give it a try. It wasn’t bad I just don’t think I enjoyed it too much. Kind of boring and hard to follow

How do I even begin to explain what this book means to me? this book talks about love in all shapes and all sizes. Love in the nature of friendship, and love in the nature in romance. It makes you look at yourself and understand these parts of you as a person, the good and the bad. The things that make life worth living. It’s womanhood, the shared tears and laugher with your closest friends. The memories of good and bad experiences but with a view of how they have made you who you are today, and what you will be. The easy and the difficult, the fun and the hard. It’s a book about navigating life and all the shit that comes with that.

I’ve heard about this book a lot. It was not exactly what I was expecting. But I enjoyed reading it. I felt like I was listening to my crazy friend life story. I do not approve most of the life choices of the author and as a woman that grew up in a Christian household I can’t relate to her experiences (fortunately). What I can relate is the feeling of being lost in my twenties and trying to be happy only through romantic relationships. I’m excited to read more about this author.

Just got into reading books and loved this one. Great book for women navigating their 20's. I love the way she drops in little recipes and surprises here and there. Loved the book would recommend to friends.

Çok beğendim, elimden bırakamadım. Yazarın diğer kitaplarını da okuyacağım.

I understand that some people don't see the point in the book, because there is no plot in the classical way. But that's what I LOVED about it. It is fun on the one hand and made me cry on the other hand, it has it's ups and downs - and that is just like life is! My personal life couldn't be more different to Dolly Aldertons but I just enjoyed all the stories and just felt so included like I would be part of her life. It's a memoir so don't expect a proper story but more like snippets of a life of someone in her twenties exploring herself, love, her friends, her life.

As a person in her late sixties, I was interested to know what life is like for young women. Phone-driven, of course, and possibly there’s more shagging, and more Class A drugs (and casual acceptance of them), but otherwise, not so different from the sixties and seventies. Of course, a lot depended on the kind of person you were. My life was pretty straight but for those who really got into the swinging sixties, Dolly’s life would be very familiar. What is lovely about this book is the theme of solid friendship with her female friends. And I loved the therapy parts where she really gets sorted, seeing, then leaving behind her destructive patterns and coming to a peaceful self-acceptance. There are parts that are funny, parts that are sad, and parts that are wise. It’s a great book, and Dolly herself sounds like a great person. Like me and many others, there’ll be sections you’ll want to highlight.

excelente libro

No issues with the product the book is just boring.
