1 About this book
Everything I Know About Love is a memoir by the British journalist Dolly Alderton, published in 2018. It runs from her school days through university and into her late twenties, living with her friends. She writes about falling in love, getting drunk, getting dumped, difficult relationships with men and with her own body, and the loss of someone close to her, and concludes that no one compares to her best girlfriends.

2 What to expect
A memoir of a woman's twenties: parties, bad dates, flat-shares, hangovers and the female friendships that matter most to her. It is told as a string of anecdotes, comic at first and more serious as it goes, taking in loss and growing up. The voice is funny, frank and self-mocking, with a great deal of drinking along the way.
Good for readers who want: a funny memoir, female friendship, and life in your twenties.
