When you date at twenty-five, everyone walks into the bar with a very neat, light carry-on. When you date from thirty onwards, get ready to meet someone absolutely brimming with history, complications and demands.” When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, writer Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, 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. Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut memoir about navigating your twenties weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age. Perfect for fans of Nora Ephron and Caitlin Moran, this book is a hilarious and heartfelt look at the messiness of growing up: Female Friendship: A loving celebration of the ride-or-die girlfriends who get you through bad dates, terrible jobs, and the times you forget that you are enough. Relatable Humor: Dolly Alderton’s wildly funny and painfully honest stories of getting drunk, getting dumped, and figuring it all out will have you laughing with recognition.

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviews are accurate *by on Reviewed in the United States April 23, 2026* This book was a great read. I felt like I learned a lot about myself from this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Felt a Little Self-Indulgent *by on Reviewed in the United States September 29, 2023* Everything I Know About Love is meant to be a candid exploration of one woman's experiences with love, friendship, and growing up. While it promises a relatable and humorous account of navigating the complexities of relationships, it ultimately fell short for me due to the protagonist's self-indulgent and often unlikable behavior. I picked this up because I feel young and stupid and I wanted a book that would tell me how to be better, or at least offer some empathy and relatability to the stupid issues that are consistent for women in their twenties. I did not find that here.The memoir is structured as a series of personal anecdotes that offer glimpses into the author's life, from teenage years to adulthood. Through the lens of her own experiences, Alderton delves into the highs and lows of romantic relationships, the bonds of friendship, and the trials of self-discovery. The writing is witty and conversational, making it easy to dive into her world. And I really wanted to like it.However, the main stumbling block for me was the characterization of the author herself. While it's not uncommon for memoirs to feature flawed protagonists (because, duh, real people aren't perfectly likable), Alderton's self-absorption and ignorance bordered on depressing for me. Her actions and choices often come across as thoughtless and inconsiderate, making it challenging to sympathize with her struggles, and I struggle to believe that the hallmark of people in their twenties is being thoughtless and inconsiderate. That would be wildly depressing. What could have been charming or relatable selfishness instead veered into a territory of willful ignorance that kind of put me off.That said, there are moments of insight and genuine humor in the book, especially when Alderton reflects on the ups and downs of female friendships. These moments provide a glimpse of the book's potential, offering relatable and thought-provoking content that many readers may find valuable.While some people may appreciate the raw honesty and unfiltered portrayal of the author's life, others may, like myself, struggle to connect with a protagonist who often comes across as self-absorbed and oblivious to the impact of her actions on others. It's a book that might resonate with those who can forgive its flaws and appreciate its moments of insight, but it may leave others frustrated by its central character's shortcomings. I think if you're truly trying to improve, this might disappoint you- but if you're well past that point and have matured, you'll probably find this book funny and relatable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir - The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About - The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/281195378-everything-i-know-about-love-a-memoir-a-nyt-bestselling](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/281195378-everything-i-know-about-love-a-memoir-a-nyt-bestselling) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
