Description
From the bestselling and beloved author of Everything I Know about Love and Ghosts comes a collection of her favourite Dear Dolly agony aunt letters and answers from her hugely popular Sunday Times Style column, with an introduction by Dolly.
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. Their questions range from the painfully—and sometimes hilariously—relatable to the occasionally bizarre. These queries include topics like breakups and body issues, families, friendships, dating, divorce, the pleasures and pitfalls of social media, sex, loneliness, longing, love, and everything in between.
Without judgement, and with deep empathy informed by her own, much-chronicled adventures in love, friendship, and dating, Dolly leads us by the hand through the various labyrinths of life, proving that a problem shared is truly a problem halved.
