Everything I Know About Love

Reading “Everything I Know About Love” by Dolly Alderton kind of felt like she cracked open my own diary from my 20s, but made it way more interesting. It's weirdly comforting to see your own mess of late nights, bad decisions, and those attempts to find who you are in someone else's story. Dolly's way of talking about her ups and downs, from feeling utterly alone to trying to be the loudest person in the room just to feel something, hit super close to home. Her humor is kind of sarcastic/cynical and so relatable and real—had me actually laughing out loud. Of course there were moments that were heartbreaking, and I sobbed more than once. It's like she's telling this super common story of the insecurity and loneliness of your 20s and growing into a 30-something woman who grows to love her own company, but in a way that feels fresh and super relatable. Every woman in her 20s and early 30s NEEDS to read this book.
