Dear Dolly: Collected Wisdom

Product Information

what I really loved in this was that her humor still shines through really well and I laughed out loud multiple times. They include breakups and body issues, families, relationships platonic and romantic, dating, divorce, the pleasures and pitfalls of social media, sex, loneliness, longing, love and everything in between. From 2017 to 2020, she co-hosted the weekly pop-culture and current affairs podcast The High Low alongside journalist Pandora Sykes.

i’ve loved dolly’s previous 2 books: her memoir everything i know about love and her fiction debut ghosts, so i’m looking forward to whatever she does next. some of the excerpts applied to me today, some will apply to me in the future, some maybe never but i enjoyed reading each piece so much. Although I didn't love Everything I Know About Love at the time I read it (and have already reached the conclusion that it was a matter of right book-wrong time), I really like Dolly's writing.Her first book Everything I Know About Love became a top five Sunday Times bestseller in its first week of publication and won a National Book Award (UK) for Autobiography of the Year. Coming to the world in tandem with Dolly Alderton’s novel Good Material, Dear Dolly is a collection of her insights and empathy towards readers asking questions about love, loneliness and human connection.

In my opinion, it is a short (230 pages) and easy read, but very informative and accessible, in which we can identify with many of the doubts mentioned. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.what I learnt from sharing my most private pain with a semi-professional problem-solver was that the mere act of asking for help was, in itself, healing. Nothing like zooming through 50-odd advice columns on a Sunday evening to put all your worries about life at ease.
