From NYU Wagner:
At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated?

I had no idea this had such a strong sociological background. It was a fascinating read, particularly the chapters on dating in other countries. Aziz was a great narrator (I listened to the audiobook).
meh.
this book had some interesting points, but didn't blow me away.
I bought this because I read an article about dating by the author and it was true and funny. Not so this book. Ansari is not as funny as he thinks he is. And with writing like this: (page 128): “ ...load the cheapest s* I can fill my tank and get the f* out of there”. What truly excellent prose!
Really interesting and not at all what I was expecting (clearly I just saw Aziz Ansari and didn't read the blurb). This was much more in depth and interesting than I'd have expected. I know a couple people who should read this...
