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.

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. 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. 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.Reading this book is like having a chat with a knowledgable great friend, who can see things for what they are and name them in a really honest way. You will not feel like this for ever, I promise, and what will be left is awe that you could love someone so much. For years, New York Times bestselling author Dolly Alderton has been sharing her wisdom, warmth, and wit with the diverse universe of fans who have turned to her “Dear Dolly” column seeking guidance on a host of life problems.

kind of hoping she does some more tv producing because the tv adaptation of everything i know about love was great.

She puts so much thought and effort into her answers and some of the problems she deals with are SO relatable. 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.

The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults. 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 for Autobiography of the Year. 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Feel bad giving this two stars because I know it’s more meant for people in their 30s and 40s not me. i definitely recommend it when you are in need of an uplifting, meaningful work exploring many topics in a light-hearted but impactful manner. Dear Dolly is a heartfelt collection of Dolly Alderton's favourite questions from her Dear Dolly column. Her first novel Ghosts was published in October 2020 and was also a top five Sunday Times Bestseller. From the author of Everything I Know About Love and longtime Sunday Times Style columnist comes advice and answers to your questions about dating, love, sex, family, friendship and more.

In fact, it’s not ‘pointless drivel’ when it is someone’s experience and Dolly treats these problems with respect, warmth and wit, which is exactly the type of writing I enjoy. 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.

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. They include breakups and body issues, families, friendships, dating, divorce, the pleasures and pitfalls of social media, sex, loneliness, longing, love and everything in between. 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.
