Dear Dolly: On Love, Life and Friendship, the instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

What I liked about her responses to each reader were that they were carefully planned, and considerate of both the reader’s feelings and the person/people they were in conflict with.

Since early 2020, Dolly Alderton has been sharing her wisdom, warmth and wit with the countless people who have written in to her Dear Dolly agony aunt column in The Sunday Times Style . I did find the dating and friendship sections a little repetitive at times (possibly because I was reading in big chunks) but the great thing about this book is you can go back and forth between sections. The book is relatively slim at just over 200 pages with pretty large print, which I find is standard for collected column type books. There's nothing groundbreaking or new here, but it's refreshing to read answers that urge readers to be true to themselves.

Sent pictures of various pages to my friends and I know I’ll be referring back to it at times of need.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.

She is the author of the 2018 memoir Everything I Know About Love, the 2020 novel Ghosts and last year's Dear Dolly: On Love, Life and Friendship. 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. Alderton is so gifted at making people care' Marian Keyes --This text refers to the paperback edition.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. I loved Everything I Know About Love and was hoping some of the questions or responses would be more risqué. Since early 2020, Dolly Alderton has been sharing her wisdom, warmth and wit with the countless people who have written in to her Dear Dolly agony aunt column in The Sunday Times Style. 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.

A compendium of good advice from her Sunday Times columns, Dear Dolly is Dolly Alderton at her wise, warm and witty best.

She puts so much thought and effort into her answers and some of the problems she deals with are SO relatable.I devoured this book, as I have all her books because her writing style really connects home for me. From 2017 to 2020, she co-hosted the weekly pop-culture and current affairs podcast The High Low alongside journalist Pandora Sykes. It was as if I had crept down to the docks under cover of darkness and floated a message out in a bottle, imagining how it might be received.
