Andy's story wasn't meant to turn out this way. Living out of a suitcase in his best friends' spare room, waiting for his career as a stand-up comedian to finally take off, he struggles to process the life-ruining end of his relationship with the only woman he's ever truly loved. As he tries to solve the seemingly unsolvable mystery of his broken relationship, he contends with career catastrophe, social media paranoia, a rapidly dwindling friendship group and the growing suspicion that, at 35, he really should have figured this all out by now.

Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

One morning in June, Abi had her to-do list—drop the kids to school, get coffee and go to work. Jacob had a bad headache so she added 'pick up steroids'. She returned home and found the man she loved and fought and laughed with for 20 years lying on the bathroom floor. And nothing would ever be the same again. But this is not a pity memoir. It's about meeting your person. And crazed late-night Google trawls. It's about the things you wished you'd said to the person who matters then wildly over-sharing with the barista who doesn't know you at all.

Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon and, now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age 21, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment.

In this exquisite story of family, food, grief and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter and guitarist. With humour and heart, she tells of growing up the only Asian American kid at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant Nobel-prize-nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

But all these share the trait for which she is most famous: unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. This commitment to authenticity has never been more on display than in Down the Drain. Fox recounts her turbulent path to cultural supremacy.

not for me
I found it hard to relate to this book as an autistic and introverted lesbian. Some universal themes were of course relatable, but it's for hetero women who drink wine and have a lifelong best friend. If that's you, great! But it left me feeling more empty and alone than empowered. I also didn't like the recipes and skits between chapters.

Could not relate
I was clearly the wrong audience for this one... I really disliked it. However, given that it has such overwhelmingly positive reviews, it must resonate with other people.
To me, it was low-effort, self-indulgent drivel. It read a bit more like an eight-and-a-half-hour blog post.
The lack of self-awareness of the main character frustrated me. Making sarcastic jokes about poor judgement is not quirky, it just enables the complacency to continue making more bad decisions.
The occasional good life insight was the only real redeeming quality to me. Dolly narrated it well also.

This is the most healing, funny, insightful and charming read. Dolly speaks so beautifully about love, loneliness, self discovery and female friendships. Thank you Dolly - it never stops being a delight to read/listen to.

I wish I could read it again for the first time.
Same for her other book Ghosts. Ghosts was maybe better, but both excellent.
I’m 37, I feel like they perfectly capture the moment in time of my teen and then 20s and 30s years in a way no other book has.

Beautiful book, read beautifully by the author
I first read the hard copy book and loved it. Would highly recommend listening to the audiobook- it will only enhance and expand its impact. Dolly reads it beautifully - adding life and force to the words. I’ve listened to it multiple times. From my home in Australia, I’ve sent passages from the final
chapters to a friend who recently moved to the UK - reminding us both of the little moments that make up a lifelong friendship. I look forward to more from Dolly- thank you for your work! X

Everything I Love About this Book
I decided to start this book club read with knowing as little as possible and letting myself being swept into Dolly’s story of her life and the evolution of her idea of love. Like life, I found some parts funny, heart-warming, disturbing, sad but ultimately beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed Dolly’s reflection on how she has perceived love over the last 28 years, and how all forms of love (romantic, friendship and self) have all changed with her experiences and self-worth.
The narration of her own story was brilliant and truly cast a more personal connection on the read.

Lovely book, but the final few chapters let the book down.
Beautifully written, a moving exploration of growing up and learning to love yourself in your mid twenties. The book was an easy listen up until the last few chapters. It felt too long, too cliche.

I’m a 22 yr old & listened to this book til the end… yet I found this book boring. I was excited to read this book due to the good reviews. Disappointed :(

Heartwarmingly familiar
Words can’t express how much I loved this book. I felt myself slink back into my memories for not too dissimilar stories, and finding solace in Dolly’s beautifully writer words. From laughter, to cringing I loved every single chapter of this.

A must read for every young girl!
Loved the book from start to finish. The story was such a good depiction of what a 20-something girl's life is like.

Excellent, light hearted and fun!
Really enjoyed this book, it was entertaining, vulnerable, funny and well written. This is the definitive voice of every single 30-something. 😎

Perfect.
Beautiful and hilarious from start to finish! I cried with laughter and sadness and general nostalgia. It felt good to relate to the experiences in this book. Every 20-something should read it!

Made me laugh and cry
A lovely write up of the millennial 20 something female experience. Dolly tackles all kinds of love and highlights the good and bad side of each of them. It made me laugh and cry - but most of all it gave me an appreciation of the love that I have in my life. 100% worth the read!

Not for everyone
I didn't finish this book, while I like the delivery and had some "me too" moments, I feel that overall this will resonate with someone of the same demographic as Dolly. FYI - I am a black woman in her twenties.
I didn't hate it... but I found myself a little lost in some of her experiences.

Utter sh*t- why does everyone rate this so highly?
What would have made Everything I Know About Love better?
I know it's an auto-biography, but it would be better if this book was not so utterly self-absorbed. I was left speechless at times when I couldn't believe I was listening to a narrative so vacuous and narcissistic. I would call the book one massive 'Humblebrag' if I didn't think Dolly was genuinely so deluded in thinking she's actually ever been through any life-lesson worthy experiences. My summary of the book is: everything-going-pretty-fine-but-I-will-just-write-a-book-about-it. Reeks of first world problems and rich girl white privilege. At one point she used being on £30k a year as a demonstration of how she had humble finances, the poor thing. I had a massive eye roll at this. Almost as much as I did for the 'I took a £200 cab ride as a university student wow I really am loco' story. I am writing this feedback so no one wastes money/credit on a book that they could be spending on better things SUCH AS the also-currently ranked Best Selling 'Why I Am No Longer Talking To White People About Race'. I am not trying to be faux-intellectual and pretentious, not everything has to be serious and tackling big issues and I love a bit of light hearted chick-flick writing as much as the next gal, but I mean COME ON, I lost brain cells listening to such NON-PROBLEMS. I am actually angry that this is a 'Best Seller'. There is NOTHING TO IT. Empty, empty, empty. What Dolly 'learnt about love' is something banal like friends are who really matter zzZZ, aka her failing to recognise and address the unhealthy control she wants to have around her friends (the concluding part of the book where she details her friend's engagement falling apart is very creepily culminated in her describing how her friend promised to 'never forget about her for a boy again' and she essentially 'forgave her' with no comment on her own over-bearing contributions to the friendship was honestly very weird). I know I seem like an uptight b***h who needs to chill but really, a book can be light-hearted and even 'pointless' without being so utterly, utterly empty. Plus the writing is bad? It had ONE JOB?
Would you ever listen to anything by Dolly Alderton again?
No. Never.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Dolly Alderton?
No.
Any additional comments?
We as a society need to analyse how we put London It Girls like Dolly or Pandora Sykes etc etc etc on pedestals without contributing much substance to this world. We created this book. I created it by even buying it.

Wow
I LOVED this book.
I really can’t get away with how much I can relate to Dolly’s life. I am so thankful for her writing. I, also 29, can completely identify with the thoughts and emotions expressed in this book, in particular the chapters which
involve issues related to overwhelming anxiety, low self esteem that leads to consistent alcohol misuse something I can directly relate to my own experiences of which came to a head and seen me attend my first AA meeting in my 25th year. At a time in my life now where I understand my past unhealthy relationship with alcohol wasn’t related to addiction but to my mental health and my lack of self love or belief...it is so refreshing to hear a woman the same age go through such similar feelings and come out the other side.
I laughed out loud and cheered at Dolly’s sharp baby shower/wedding/every occasion ever that single women are alienated from. THANK YOU!
I listened to this on audiobook over the course of about 5 days, it kept me company on the commute and even caused me to miss my stop one day from being so engrossed in the story.
Spectacular
Thank you for letting us into your life Dolly

Thank you, Dolly
It’s no easy thing to talk in searingly honest detail about all the relationships you’ve had, romantic or otherwise, with even your closest friends let alone publish an entire book chronicling them for all the world to listen to. But that’s exactly what makes Dolly’s book so incredibly refreshing and just very brave. Books on dating and ‘how to be single’ aren’t exactly few and far between but how many of them are willing to readily admit, for example, the time when they modified their personality just to make a relationship work? So it’s fair to say that Everything I Know About Love doesn’t exactly conform to the stereotype of dating/self-help/relationship books because the author’s not one to be stereotyped herself. And, if there’s one thing you take away from listening to Dolly’s highs and lows, it’s that it’s really your friendships that you need to keep hold of, keep sight of and keep working at.

Self indulgent but relatable
Easy listen but pretty average. Like half listening to a friend gossip about tinder dates

Beautiful
I'm only 18 so can't relate to everything in this book, but it feels like a warm hug from a friend's older sister, not least because of Dolly's wonderful voice. A beautiful book that has got me through many stressy sleepless nights. I'm not surprised though, it seems like everything Dolly touches turns to gold. Would 100% recommend to anyone, especially if you're feeling a bit lost or unsure about the world. Love love love it.

Listened in a day
This book is really super and being a teen in the same years was hilarious being reminded of my years glued to the computer screen taking to strangers! I really love the way Dolly can cover both really superficial and more real life sadder topics so authenticly. Would love more books Dolly! X

I enjoyed this book so much. Dolly writes so beautiful and she expressed so many of the things I’ve felt so precisely. She also reads it so nicely and it felt so personal. I can’t wait to listen to it again.

Vacuous badly written rubbish
A complete waste of a credit . It’s a non-story . I don’t believe this superficial self absorbed student, the central person in the book, is typical of 18-20 somethings . Certainly not my children . Otherwise gawd help the country . It’s badly written and boring to boot. I couldn’t finish it . Don’t waste your money
