Everything I Know About Love: A Memoir by Dolly Alderton
3.0
so much of this book ended up being the worst, least self-aware but also selfish decision’s i’ve ever read. her outlook on her friend’s relationships was pretty fucking sad. the idea that your friends are just waiting to leave you for a man completely disregards the value of both friendships and relationships.
she pulled through, towards the end. there were some passages that i really enjoyed about womanhood and aging. overall, though, the author really just pulled out some of the most basic interpretations of life i’ve ever read. its not deep. its not groundbreaking. “dont be embarrassed! live your life!” girl. be fr, my grandma has that stitched on a pillow somewhere.
however! i did really love her friendship with her best friend - most of the time. she did a great job illustrating how much love you have for another person in that role, and how you know them the way youd know a soulmate.
overall, its a good read. she’s not terribly deep, but does have some thoughts that i’ve reflected on.
