Dolly Alderton's Everything I Know About Love: Zoe Strimpel and Tom Stammers discuss the 2018 bestseller

Zoe, a former dating columnist just like Dolly, and an author of books concerning dating, just like Dolly, certainly found herself faced with the work of a much more popular and successful - and younger - version of herself. But was it just sour grapes that made her gawp at this book's fantastic success? She likes to think it wasn't. Together with historian of France Tom, they unpack the book's themes and oddities,  discuss what they didn't like (and a few things they did) and think about what made it such a hit.
