Poignant, witty, comic, and self-deprecating. A
laugh-out-loud, lightning quick journey through the
years that will resonate with anyone who's ever been
young and in love. * Daily Express *
Very, very, very funny. Don't hate me when I tell you that
Everything I Know About Love is Sex And The City for
millennials, because I mean it as high praise * Red
*
I loved it so much, I wanted it to go on forever, Dolly
Alderton is so gifted at making people care. A rare
talent * Marian Keyes *
Mesmerising, brilliant * Daily Telegraph *
Alderton is an old soul - she has learned life lessons
while not yet out of her twenties that many of us
post-menopausal matrons are still struggling with. A wonderful
writer, who will surely inspire a generation the way
that Caitlin Moran did before her. * Julie Burchill *
I thought I knew a lot about love. Not as much as Dolly. Read as
soon as possible. * Sharon Horgan *
If Nora Ephron is the cool aunt you wish you'd had, Dolly
Alderton is your favourite cousin. I loved it and I
can't imagine anyone who wouldn't; it's a genuine
delight * Kristen Roupenian, author of Cat Person *
Witty and insightful * Sunday Times Culture *
You will quite literally laugh and cry as Dolly crashes her way through her teens and twenties. This is about growing up and all the mess that comes with it. I loved it.
* The Pool *I loved its truth, its self awareness, humour and
most of all, its heart spilling generosity. The power of
female friendships is such great, uncharted territory, and just
when you think it's going one (wonderful) way, it takes you
somewhere infinitely more rugged, complicated and all the
more affectingly tender. A joy. In short, it's a
stone cold classic * Sophie Dahl *
Funny, sexy and clever, Dolly Alderton is never less than dazzling
on the travails of the human heart. She writes with breathtaking
honesty about falling into lust and out of love, and each chapter
reads like those late night conversations with your best girlfriend
that you never want to end * Clover Stroud *
A sensitive and funny account of growing up millennial. * The
Observer *
Will have you hooked and nodding from the first page. Hilarious and
moving * Grazia *
Alderton proves a razor-sharp observer of the shifting dynamics of
long term female friendship * Mail on Sunday *
If you're ever feeling a tad down and need to climb into bed with a
book, Emerald Street would prescribe Heartburn by Nora
Ephron...Fortunately, it now has a millennial companion
piece courtesy of writer and journalist, Dolly Alderton *
Emerald Street *
Witty and warm, this is ostensibly a memoir about
romantic love - and it is filled with plenty of stories about
great and terrible men. But the most touching parts were
on friendship, and how powerful and comforting the love of a
good friend is * Stylist *
I so recommend Dolly Alderton's millennial memoir, which
takes you on an uncomfortable journey through love and
anxiety, to an unexpectedly happy ending. It's
just lovely * Eva Wiseman *
Weaving first-person stories and lists with email parodies and
recipes, it's Nora Ephron for the Tinder generation *
Financial Times *
Her fun and moving stories of bad dates and
good friends melted my heart * Sunday Mirror *
Funny, touching and wholly delightful * The
Bookseller *
Sure to leave you smiling * Elle Magazine *
An effervescent guide to millennial life * i *
Honest, funny and touching * Evening Standard *
With courageous honesty, Alderton documents the highs and
the lows - the sex, the drugs, the nightmare landlords, the
heartaches and the humiliations. Deeply funny, sometimes
shocking, and admirably open-hearted and optimistic *
Daily Telegraph *
