Excellent as an audiobook! More about friendship than anything else, which I loved.

När man läser en så bra bok brukar man säga hur har jag väntat såhär länge med att lösa den. Men jag är så glad att jag väntade för jag läste den i precis rätt tidpunkt efter säsongen och Amsterdam när jag var hemma och viste inte var jag skulle ta vägen och sedan på två dagar får veta att jag ska lämna allt och jobba en sommar på Mallorca!

Qué puedo decir, me ha encantado este libro y me ha hecho reír en alto (sobretodo en la cafetería de la facultad). Hay veces que me he sentido identificada, y siendo joven necesitaba leer sobre otra gente que sueña con convertirse en adulta, emborracharse en casa y cocinar para sus amigas. Muy entretenido, incluso tocando temas sensibles nunca se hacía incómodo ni pesado. Es de esos libros que guardaré para cuando hayan pasado unos años y tenga otro punto de vista sobre la vida.

Funny at times and I sympathised with it but it all seemed a bit too normal. There was nothing that gripped me. Maybe memoirs are just not my thing but I can appreciate the feeling behind this book, I’m just not sure if I believe it.

I love a little memoir and I found Everything I Know About Love to be quite a fun one. I originally started this one as an ebook, but it wasn't holding my attention for some reason so I switched to the audiobook which is read by the author and that was a great decision. Dolly's accent, connection to the stories, and timing really brought the memoir to life and kept me more engaged than just reading it myself.
I enjoyed Dolly's stories about her youth, her body image, and her female friendships. I found her stories of wild partying and hookups entertaining even though they weren't relatable to my life. Her sense of humor is cheeky and funny. Her reflections on loneliness and the fear of losing connection with her close friends in adulthood was deeply touching. I love girlhood and female connection and I think Dolly conveys those feelings so poignantly through her own experiences.
With all of that said, I did find myself struggling to finish the book. The stream of consciousness style did leave me a little confused at times about who people were and what era we were in. After a bit it also just started to feel repetitive. I started listening to the last portion on 2x and then just gave up on the last hour.
It always feels weird to rate memoirs as they are someone's life story told from their own perspective, but I think I am going to stick with 3.0 for now. I liked it, it had insightful and funny moments, it was entertaining at times, but ultimately it just didn't really hit the way I thought it would and I was ready to be done reading it.
