Dear Dolly: On Love, Life and Friendship, the instant Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

Their questions range from the painfully - and sometimes hilariously - relatable to the occasionally bizarre. I did find the dating and friendship sections a little repetitive at times (possibly because I was reading in big chunks) but the great thing about this book is you can go back and forth between sections. Sent pictures of various pages to my friends and I know I’ll be referring back to it at times of need. 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. even the advice columns that weren’t relevant to me were engaging and insightful, and her moral perspectives and personal ethics very much aligned with my own.

The questions are divided up into love, friendship, family, sex, relationships and what is termed ‘body and soul’ – appearance and drinking are just some of the questions covered.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. Her writing is funny but also poignant and actually gives time to problems individuals have that may otherwise be dismissed as ‘pointless drivel’. She is the author of two Sunday Times bestselling works of non-fiction: Everything I Know About Love , which won a National Book Award (UK) for Autobiography of the Year and was made into a BBC One TV Series, and Dear Dolly , a collection of her agony aunt columns from The Sunday Times Style magazine. 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. Reading this book is like having a chat with a knowledgable great friend, who can see things for what they are and name them in a really honest way.

Their questions range from the painfully – and sometimes hilariously – relatable to the occasionally bizarre. I devoured this book, as I have all her books because her writing style really connects home for me.
