Migliori Libri di Dolly Alderton

A trentadue anni, Nina Dean è la donna che avrebbe voluto essere quando ne aveva venti. È un’affermata food writer, ha da poco comprato un piccolo appartamento in un vivace quartiere londinese, adora i suoi amici e può contare su una coppia di genitori fantastici. Quando tramite un’app di incontri conosce Max, inaspettata anima gemella, sembra proprio che tutti i pianeti si siano allineati. In fondo, una relazione stabile e matura è quello che le manca, e la vita da single comincia a starle stretta: il mutuo è un salasso, e pare che tutti si siano messi d’accordo per trasferirsi fuori città abbandonandola lì, alle prese con un padre che mostra i primi segni di demenza senile e una madre da poco caduta in una ridicola crisi esistenziale a base di infinite sedute di pilates. Ma quando Max le farà ghosting, smettendo di rispondere alle sue chiamate e ai suoi messaggi, le sue certezze andranno in pezzi. Tra improbabili addii al nubilato, ex che si accasano e vicini invadenti, un passo alla volta Nina dovrà imparare a vivere la sua vita adulta, affrontando quanto di reale e doloroso può nascondersi dietro lo schermo luminoso di uno smartphone.

‘Alderton is Nora Ephron for the millennial generation’ Elizabeth Day 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. 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. 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. ‘Alderton is so gifted at making people care’ Marian Keyes
