Overview
This two-book paperback set brings together Dolly Alderton's most celebrated writing on love, friendship, and growing up. Everything I Know About Love is her bestselling memoir tracing the messy, funny, and tender journey through her twenties, while Ghosts is her acclaimed debut novel following a woman navigating modern dating, family, and memory in her thirties. Together they showcase Alderton's sharp wit and emotional honesty, making this collection a perfect gift or personal treat for readers who love candid, character-driven storytelling about relationships and self-discovery.

About the Books
Everything I Know About Love is Dolly Alderton's unforgettable memoir about coming of age in London, weaving together personal stories, satirical observations, and candid vignettes about dating disasters, chaotic flat-shares, and the friendships that carry us through it all. It became a top-selling memoir and was later adapted into a BBC One television series, cementing Alderton's reputation as one of the sharpest voices writing about modern womanhood. Ghosts, her first novel, follows Nina, a food writer in her early thirties, as she tries online dating for the first time, watches her father's memory begin to fade, and questions what she really wants from love and life. Blending humor with heartbreak, Ghosts captures the strange, often absurd landscape of modern romance and the deeper anxieties of adulthood that lie beneath it. Both books share Alderton's signature style: emotionally generous, laugh-out-loud funny, and unafraid to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. Read together, they offer a fuller picture of her writing journey, from the memoirist recounting her own twenties to the novelist imagining a woman's search for connection in her thirties. Fans of Nora Ephron, Marian Keyes, or Bridget Jones's Diary will find much to love in this pairing, as will anyone who enjoys frank, funny writing about the realities of dating, friendship, and family life. This set is ideal for readers who want to experience both Alderton's nonfiction and fiction side by side.
