Published in the U.K. in 2018, Everything I Know About Love recounts the adventures of a woman navigating her 20s (Alderton turned 30 that year), a decade of ill-advised relationships, one-night ...stands, and booze-fueled evenings. ...as for the end of Alderton’s “roving, raucous, and rebellious” 20s, she admits to having dreaded her 30th birthday—the book is even capped off by a recipe for Meltdown Birthday Cake. All of us deserve an occasional pair of arms around our waist as we stir the soup on the hob.”

On a recent evening, Dolly Alderton snapped a photo of her dinner companion and shared it with her nearly 300,000 Instagram followers. His name was Max, just like the romantic antagonist in her new ...novel Ghosts. Soon after, a direct message came in from one of her readers in Britain (where the book is already on shelves), chiding the author for "taking him back." This kind of transference has become a regular part of the London-based Alderton's career. She spent a decade writing a popular newspaper column about dating and friendship in her 20s; cohosted the hit podcast The High Low, on which she and fellow best-selling author Pandora Sykes discussed pressing concerns of modern womanhood; and published the unflinching memoir Everything I Know About Love.
