"Everything I Know About Love" is a 2018 memoir by the British journalist Dolly Alderton. The book recounts the author's experiences from primary and secondary school in the United Kingdom to living in "the real world" in her late 20s with her friends. The memoir includes personal anecdotes, text conversations, and recipes alongside a narrative writing style.
The book is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its grubby, hopeful uncertainty. It's a book about bad dates, good friends, and, above all else, about recognizing that the person is enough.
The memoir was nominated for Waterstones Book of the Year in 2018, earned a 2018 National Book Award for autobiography, and was shortlisted for the 2019 Non-Fiction Narrative Book of the Year in the British Book Awards. It was also adapted into a BBC/Peacock eponymous television drama series.
