The wildly funny, occasionally heartbreaking internationally bestselling memoir about growing up, growing older, and learning to navigate friendships, jobs, loss, and love along the ride
When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming an adult, journalist and former Sunday Times columnist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, finding a job, getting drunk, getting dumped, realizing that Ivan from the corner shop might just be the only reliable man in her life, and that absolutely no one can ever compare to her best girlfriends. Everything I Know About Love is about bad dates, good friends and—above all else— realizing that you are enough.
Glittering with wit and insight, heart and humor, Dolly Alderton’s unforgettable debut weaves together personal stories, satirical observations, a series of lists, recipes, and other vignettes that will strike a chord of recognition with women of every age—making you want to pick up the phone and tell your best friends all about it. Like Bridget Jones’ Diary but all true, Everything I Know About Love is about the struggles of early adulthood in all its terrifying and hopeful uncertainty.
"Everything You Didn't Want to Know about Sex" provides a
compelling glimpse into Internet dating and matchmaking sites and
into the human sexual expressions of those who use these dating
tools to find a mate.
For over two years, Reynaldo Olivia toured and joined several
matchmaking sites of various styles and through his research and
interaction with other site visitors; he collected the stories for
this book. Posing as a male in every case, he was as young as
twenty-seven and as old as sixty-five. After acting straight,
bisexual and gay and leading over a thousand conversations, Olivia
shares the results of his unscientific study, revealing surprising
revelations that include fetishes, fantasies, and everything in
between. From the obese woman who was over three hundred pounds and
hungry for sex to the middle-aged woman with a shaved head who
wished for slaves she could punish to satisfy her sadistic desires,
Olivia shares the unique wants of those who frequent these sites to
find others who share the same sexual cravings.
This fascinating look into cyberspace and the world of Internet
dating proves that visitors have a vested interest in expanding
their sex lives, and desire the freedom to express their needs
while protecting their personal identity.
