"Everything I know about love" has been featured on nearly every bookstagram or booktok account, so I knew I had to read it.
I think my expectations for the book were a bit to high. For the first 300 pages I really did not get what all the fuss is about. Binge drinking and sex with strangers are not revolutionising themes. The last pages tied it together nicely though and I took away one or two messages from the book. All in all, a nice book but a bit overhyped in my opinion.

I love this & recommend to every woman in her 20’s. It was surprisingly relatable. Made lots of highlights on my kindle. Will be purchasing & rereading soon

I was afraid I was going to hate this book when I started. The introductory chapters almost felt like the author was blindly feeling around inside her head for stories that offered no real value other than that they were about sex and gender and therefore fell under the topic of the book's overarching themes. There is a lot of shallow, simplistic analysis and revelations that are luckily outweighed by generally well paced, engaging, sometimes alarming, but thoughtful anecdotes that build on each other to great affect.

After worrying I was going to hate this, about a quarter in this book turned into an interesting anthropological study on straight white heterosexual millennials, which then reveals itself to be an endearing and self reflective story about an ongoing journey of yearning and self acceptance. It plays it safe sometimes and refuses to dig deeper into certain stories that obviously play a larger part in the psychological and emotional portrait she's painting of herself but ultimately this remains a satisfying and worthwhile read.
