Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton

4.0

Compulsively readable, Dolly Alderton's EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE is a hit for a reason. This reads like the stories and advice your much cooler older cousin treats you with while she smudges on eyeliner and sneaks out the window at a family function. A love letter to female friendship and to the messiness of your twenties meant this was exactly the sort of book I wanted to read this summer at 24. Bonus points to me for just spending the past year in the UK and appreicating all the nuances of the Britishisms that I would argue define the magic of this memoir. An example I will turn to when I need to demonstrate the power of a personal narrative and the voice that can come through with a talented author. Such fun! 

p.s. this MIGHT be the instruction manual for a proper brat girl summer.
