Summary of Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton

In  her youth, Dolly's  experiences  were not punctuated  by the 
familiar sounds of sibling laughter or the thrill of outdoor adventures. Instead, she was a child of the internet age.  Dolly's hometown was  Stanmore, a  unique suburb of  North  London that wasn't quite a city or country. She painted a picture of its monotony, where houses,   vehicles,   and even the women seemed indistinguishable from each other.
However, Dolly's saving grace was her best friend, Farly. The 
duo's bond began at the age of eleven,  and   despite   their contrasting   personalities,   they    complemented    each   other seamlessly.
Childhood  for  Dolly was  often marked  by feelings  of  loneliness  and bored and boredom, but that  all  changed  with the  advent of AOL's  dial-up  connection. With  it came  the  MSN  Instant Messenger,  a platform that became Dolly's refuge.
It  served as a tool  to  connect with  not  only her close  friends but also  acquaintances  and  students  from neighboring  schools. Even during   vacations,   Dolly  was   tethered   to   this   virtual   world, dedicating hours  to  MSN.  It  was,  as  she  would  put  it, "her sanctuary".

CHAPTER 1: BOYS

In her youth, Dolly's experiences were not punctuated by the

familiar sounds of sibling laughter or the thrill of outdoor adventures. Instead, she was a child of the internet age. Dolly's hometown was Stanmore, a unique suburb of North London that wasn't quite city or country. She painted a picture of its monotony, where houses, vehicles, and even the women seemed indistinguishable from each other.

However, Dolly's saving grace was her best friend, Farly. The

duo's bond began at the age of eleven, and despite their contrasting personalities, they complemented each other seamlessly.

Childhood for Dolly was often marked by feelings of loneliness and bored and boredom, but that all changed with the advent of AOL's dial-up connection. With it came the MSN Instant Messenger, a platform that became Dolly's refuge.

It served as a tool to connect with not only her close friends but also acquaintances and students from neighboring schools. Even during vacations, Dolly was tethered to this virtual world, dedicating hours to MSN. It was, as she would put it, "her sanctuary".

By the age of fourteen, Dolly's digital life took an exciting turn as boys entered the equation. She collected email addresses of various boys, often shared by her schoolmates. While conversing with the mostpopular ones brought fleeting fame, the anonymity of the internet had its downsides.

The absence of camera phones meant most online friendships were blind, often leading to real-life encounters that ended in disappointment. Both Dolly and her friend Farly fell victim to such encounters.

As time progressed, Dolly's interests evolved. She formed a band with a new friend, Lauren, when she was fifteen. They embraced every opportunity to perform. However, life had another twist for her as she transitioned to a co-boarding school situated north of her beloved Stanmore.

This change presented Dolly with a chance to forge real-life

connections with boys. Yet, the reality was not as rosy as the

digital realm. She found herself unable to relate to most boys,

often feeling they lacked the wit, charm, and kindness she was

accustomed to among her female friends. As her school years came to a close, so did her frequent visits to MSN.

CHAPTER 2: BAD DATE

As we journey back to Dolly's fourteen-year-old self, we

encounter a moment where her friend Natalie plays matchmaker.

Understanding Dolly's desire to have a boyfriend, Natalie

orchestrated a meeting between Dolly and a boy named Betzalel through MSN messenger. The condition was simple: Dolly would accompany Natalie at l at lunch on a few occasions.

Within a month, a virtual bond blossomed between Dolly and

Betzalel, leading to plans of an in-person meeting. Dolly,

displaying a hint of foresight, insisted on having Farly byher side during the encounter. A decision that would prove to be judicious.

The eagerly awaited meetup, however, was nothing short of a

disaster. Betzalel bore no resemblance to the image he had portrayed online, leading to an uncomfortable and nearly silent encounter, with both parties seemingly engulfed in embarrassment.
