I absolutely adore Dolly. She is one of my favorite writers of all time, and to this day, “Ghosts” is a personal favorite book of mine.
While I found the writing and voice in “Dear Dolly” to be incredible - she is such a breathtakingly skilled storyteller, managing to write with so much empathy and personality that you feel like you are speaking with a big sister or friend - the book itself just didn’t resonate with me as much as her others.
I think if I had read this in my late teens or early 20s, I would have walked away with more value. But with my life in order now (at least for the most part), having become familiar with who I am, and being in a happy marriage with the stress of dating behind me, I didn’t have as much of a stake in many of the questions being asked.
Also, between us, I’m not going to lie, some of Dolly’s advice was a bit questionable in my opinion…
While the writing itself was beautiful, I don’t believe I was the target audience for this book.

life wisdom for the 30s (and 40s?). right reading at the right timing for me.
48/2023 Después de leer con mucho entusiasmo el primer libro de Dolly Alderton, me lancé de cabeza a este recopilatorio (sin saber que era un recopilatorio) de las respuestas que da en su consultorio.
Y no me ha entusiasmado, muchísimos lugares comunes tanto en las preguntas como en las respuestas. Muy bien el tratamiento siempre positivo pero cuando te lees cinco seguidas te satura un poco y ves cómo dice casi siempre las mismas cosas. Que son cosas en las que tiene mucha razón, sí, pero se hace pesadito, o a mí se me ha hecho.
Esperaba mucho más, la verdad

Dolly Alderton doesn’t realize she’s my best friend. Side note: this book MUST be listened to on audio with Dolly narrating.
funny
lighthearted
medium-paced
Dolly Alderton could publish her grocery list and I would buy it, read it and rate it 5 stars.
