Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton
4.5
After reading and adoring Good Material I thought it was high time I reread one of my favourite memoirs by one of my favourite authors. I read this as an audio book then squirreled back to my physical copy to highlight key passages.
➕️ Dolly's writing. It's immersive, relatable and aced with nostalgic.
➕️ Exploration of love, heartbreak, grief and growing up.
➕️ The overarching theme of female friendship and how much these friendship teach and envelope us in love.
➕️ Dolly's narration on the audio book is 👌
➖️Want to know more about Farley and what happened in her relationship. I got so hung up on this last time too!
➖️Satirical letters, emails, invites. Maybe they hit too close to home now?
✍️ "Love is quiet, reassuring, relaxing, pottering, pedantic, harmonious hum of a thing; something you can easily forget is there, even though it's palms are outstretched beneath you in case you fall." Pg319
🛍 I purchased my physical copy from my local QBD but enjoyed the audio via Spotify Premium
