Dolly Alderton’s Everything I Know About Love is a love letter to friends, female friendships in particular, and more specifically to her best friend Farley. I cried at their love story, and Florence’s story, and many other stories in this book. I also laughed, sighed, cringed, winced. So much of it was so relatable, so much of it was inspiring, so much of it was relevant to me. I recommend this book because it might not be everything there is to know about love but it is some genius insight into what it means to a lot of people. I’m ever so grateful for my female friends. ‘I thought of the blissful mundanity of life; of what a privilege it was to live it.’
