Capturing the hearts and minds of young romantics and dreamers, she offers sage and sisterly advice to those in need ― Magic Radio Book Club --This text refers to the paperback edition. Alderton is so gifted at making people care' Marian Keyes --This text refers to the paperback edition. While none of the questions selected for this book was really compatible with my life right now, I still found reading her replies empathetic and friendly. If you're looking for some encouragement and advice with issues in your life, then this meaningful book just might hit the spot.

What surprised me most about this book on the positive side was the way it is written in which, as is the collection of Dolly's advice in the Dear Dolly column in The Sunday Times Style, we can read the person's perspective and doubts about a certain subject and then the answer provided by Dolly. She is also the author of two novels, Ghosts and Good Material , which were both instant Sunday Times bestsellers. i look forward to dipping in and out of it the next time i find myself wishing i had a millennial big sister to bring me back down to earth.Sent pictures of various pages to my friends and I know I’ll be referring back to it at times of need. 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. I loved Everything I Know About Love and was hoping some of the questions or responses would be more risqué. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously. Furthermore, I really liked that the book covered several themes, namely friendship, relationships and family.

Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). She is the author of two Sunday Times bestselling works of non-fiction: Everything I Know About Love , which won a National Book Award (UK) for Autobiography of the Year and was made into a BBC One TV Series, and Dear Dolly , a collection of her agony aunt columns from The Sunday Times Style magazine. I wish this book was longer, and would have loved to read her thoughts on more specific and nuanced topics, since even topics that didn't directly relate to me in this book allowed for her to impart some universal wisdom; however I understand these were taken from her Sunday Times column and can only appeal to so niche an audience. having loved dolly’s previous works, particularly ‘everything i know about love’ (which is an all time favourite of mine), i was excited to devour more of her words of wisdom.

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. Their questions range from the painfully – and sometimes hilariously – relatable to the occasionally bizarre.

I did find most of the questions and answers to be for those quite a bit younger than myself, but there are a few that pertain to Gen X readers.

The book is relatively slim at just over 200 pages with pretty large print, which I find is standard for collected column type books. By writing it, I was acknowledging that someone might care about me; that they'd be able to say the right thing without knowing me. 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. Dolly has an incredible ability to put herself in another person's shoes, something that sometimes seems so easy, but can actually turn out to be quite difficult.
