Through her responses, Dolly provides support and understanding without judgement, always drawing from her own well-documented adventures in love, friendship, and dating to offer perspective and solace. Her empathetic approach reassures readers that they are not alone in their struggles, and her heartfelt advice illustrates the truth that a problem shared is indeed a problem halved.
