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.

Her first novel Ghosts was published in October 2020 and was also a top five Sunday Times Bestseller. In this wonderful collection, she brings together her collected knowledge in one invaluable volume that will make you think, make you laugh, and help you confront any conundrum or crisis.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.

Next time you feel one of those further cracks of heartbreak, think of it as a strange sort of privilege.

Dolly has thoughtfully answered questions ranging from the painfully--and sometimes hilariously--relatable to the occasionally bizarre. From 2017 to 2020, she co-hosted the weekly pop-culture and current affairs podcast The High Low alongside journalist Pandora Sykes. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

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. Thank God for Dolly - I’m obsessed with her deeply empathetic, entirely shame-absolving and emotionally intelligent 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. 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.

Nothing like zooming through 50-odd advice columns on a Sunday evening to put all your worries about life at ease. 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.

Dolly has thoughtfully answered questions ranging from the painfully—and sometimes hilariously—relatable to the occasionally bizarre. Sent pictures of various pages to my friends and I know I’ll be referring back to it at times of need. 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.Dear Dolly is a heartfelt collection of Dolly Alderton's favourite questions from her Dear Dolly column. i think this is one of the most annotated books in my collection now, and i know i’ll be referring back to it countless times. if you just want something not to serious and something that feels like a gossip session with a friend; this would be an excellent choice. Her writing is funny but also poignant and actually gives time to problems individuals have that may otherwise be dismissed as ‘pointless drivel’.
