The first novel from the award-winning, best-selling author of Everything I Know About Love. Thirty-two-year-old Nina Dean is a successful food writer with a loyal online following but a life that is falling apart. When she uses dating apps for the first time, she becomes a victim of ghosting and by the most beguiling of men. Her beloved dad is vanishing in slow motion into dementia, and she's starting to think about ageing and the gendered double-standard of the biological clock.

Nina Dean is not especially bothered that she's single. She owns her own apartment, she's about to publish her second book, she has a great relationship with her ex-boyfriend, and enough friends to keep her social calendar full and her hangovers plentiful. And when she downloads a dating app, she does the seemingly impossible: She meets a great guy on her first date. Max is handsome and built like a lumberjack; he has floppy blond hair and a stable job. But more surprising than anything else, Nina and Max have chemistry.

Award-winning journalist Dolly Alderton survived her 20s (just about) and in Everything I Know About Love, she gives an unflinching account of the bad dates and squalid flat-shares, the heartaches and humiliations and most importantly, the unbreakable female friendships that helped her to hold it all together.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Copilăroasă și matură, egoistă și iubitoare, anxioasă și uneori foarte relaxată, cerebrală, irațională, pasionată de literatură și de petreceri cu băutură și droguri – iată un sumar portret al lui Dolly, personajul principal al cărții. O sumă de contradicții. Dar există totuși ceva constant, un fir roșu care străbate, din copilărie până la maturitate, povestea zbuciumată, pe alocuri picantă, tristă sau extrem de amuzantă: prietenia. Fiindcă dacă iubiții vin și pleacă, prietenele din copilărie și din adolescență rămân ancorele ei sufletești pentru totdeauna.
