Everything I Know About Love is a 2018 memoir by the British journalist Dolly Alderton, in which the author recounts the adventures of a woman navigating her 20s.[1]
Reception
The book earned a 2018 National Book Award for autobiography[2][3] and was shortlisted for the 2019 Non-Fiction Narrative Book of the Year in the British Book Awards,[4] and adapted into a BBC/Peacock eponymous television drama series.[5] The book has been translated into 20 languages including Polish[6] and Russian.[7]
Dolly Alderton has always been a sparkling Roman candle of talent. She is funny, smart, and explosively engaged in the wonders and weirdness of the world. But what makes this memoir more than mere entertainment is the mature and sophisticated evolution that Alderton describes in these pages. It’s a beautifully told journey and a thoughtful, important book. I loved it.
At Goodreads, the book has an average rating of 4.11 (out of 5) based on 129,353 ratings.[8]
