Dear Dolly is a heartfelt collection of Dolly Alderton's favourite questions from her Dear Dolly column. In fact, it’s not ‘pointless drivel’ when it is someone’s experience and Dolly treats these problems with respect, warmth and wit, which is exactly the type of writing I enjoy.Their questions range from the painfully – and sometimes hilariously – relatable to the occasionally bizarre.

They include breakups and body issues, families, friendships, dating, divorce, the pleasures and pitfalls of social media, sex, loneliness, longing, love and everything in between.What surprised me most about this book on the positive side was the way it is written in which, as is the collection of Dolly's advice in the Dear Dolly column in The Sunday Times Style, we can read the person's perspective and doubts about a certain subject and then the answer provided by Dolly. Since early 2020, Dolly Alderton has been sharing her wisdom, warmth and wit with the countless people who have written in to her Dear Dolly agony aunt column in The Sunday Times Style. There's nothing groundbreaking or new here, but it's refreshing to read answers that urge readers to be true to themselves.

She is a columnist for The Sunday Times Style and has also written for GQ , Red , Marie Claire and Grazia . I did find most of the questions and answers to be for those quite a bit younger than myself, but there are a few that pertain to Gen X readers. if you just want something not to serious and something that feels like a gossip session with a friend; this would be an excellent choice.She is also the author of two novels, Ghosts and Good Material , which were both instant Sunday Times bestsellers. Without judgement, and with deep empathy informed by her own, much-chronicled adventures in love, friendship and dating, Dolly leads us by the hand through the various labyrinths of life, proving that a problem shared is truly a problem halved. Her writing is funny but also poignant and actually gives time to problems individuals have that may otherwise be dismissed as ‘pointless drivel’.
