Everything I Know About Love

Description

A celebration of our female friendships, of our messy years, and of growing up together. Glittering with wit, heart, and humour, it’s a book to share with every woman you’ve ever been lucky enough to call a friend. “Nearly everything I know about love, I've learnt from my long-term friendships with women.” I know that love can be loud and jubilant. It can be dancing in the swampy mud and the pouring rain at a festival and shouting “YOU ARE AMAZING” over the band. It’s laughing until you wheeze. It’s walking along the street together on a Saturday night and feeling an entire city is yours. I also know that love is a pretty quiet thing. It’s lying on the sofa together drinking coffee, talking about where you’re going to go that morning to drink more coffee. It’s folding down pages of books you think they’d find interesting. I know that love happens under the splendour of fireworks and sunsets, but also happens when you’re lying on blow-up airbeds in a childhood bedroom, sitting in A&E or in the queue for a passport. ***** WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ‘A book every girl in her 20s needs to read’ ‘I’ll never stop recommending this book’ ‘This is my comfort book!

Review: A Riveting read. - "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳." This book is a wholesome representation of human life friendships, love affairs, heartbreaks, career ups and downs and the wisdom which got collected into the pot through exploration. Her life is gracefully capsulized in a few words, a perfect blend of raw wisdom and vulnerability. The writing is top-notch, witty and hilarious in a humorous way. You feel you are sitting in front of her and having your own VIP experience. The idea of a memoir in the early 20s and 30s is a unique way of expressing how insanely piquant one can be. Who said it's all about good decisions? The wrong one matters equally. Those heartbreaks are the epitome of our resilient self and adoring that part is irrefutable. It beautifully depicts the female friendship beyond companionship, how two different personalities can coexist together and make a home together irrespective of their differences. It touches on the point of self-love". People tend to fill the void in their hearts and look outside for the piece of the puzzle to fit there, which was never a Pokémon to be collected. The amount of time you can resonate with the emotion she has displayed here is insane, everyone is kind of juggling in their own life in a shuffled manner. Overall, it was a riveting read leaving you to contemplate "your pages"!!
