Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir by Dolly Alderton (368 pages)
Summary: 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.
Opinion: I'm not normally a memoir or autobiography reader. However, I'm very glad that I picked this book up because it was such a fun, relatable read. The book is comprised of short stories, letters, recipes, etc. to paint a picture of Dolly's life from late teens to early 30s. There were so many heartfelt and sad moments that had me near tears and so many funny moments that had me laughing. While reading this book, I felt like I had a connection or understanding with the author as I watched her face big life events and grow up. I'll definitely be recommending this book to friends.
