Dolly Alderton is so gifted at making people care. A rare talent. * Marian Keyes * Alderton is Nora Ephron for the millennial generation. * Elizabeth Day * Dolly Alderton is never less than dazzling on the travails of the human heart. * Clover Stroud * A compendium of good advice from her Sunday Times columns, Dear Dolly is Dolly Alderton at her wise, warm and witty best. All of human life is contained in these pages: from dating apps to eating disorders, too much sex, not enough sex and the ebb and flow of friendships, relationships and situationships. I felt like a better, kinder person for having read these letters and Dolly's thoughtful replies. * Red * Alderton's wise words can resonate with women of all ages. She feels like a best friend and your older sister all rolled into one and her pages wrap around you like a warm hug. * Evening Standard, on Everything I Know about Love * Her refreshing take makes for compulsive reading.
