"A raw and funny memoir about love and sex in the digital age intertwined with a brilliant and original investigative deep-dive from the New York Times bestselling author of American Girls, Nancy Jo Sales, which explores our epidemic addiction to dating apps and exposes how Big Dating disrupts romance in the modern world"--
At forty-nine, Sales was nursing a broken heart. On the advice of a friend she downloaded Tinder, then a brand-new dating app. What followed was a raucous ride through the world of online dating. She became a leading critic of the online dating industry, reporting and writing articles-- all while she was dating a series of younger men, eventually falling in love with a man less than half her age. Here she is unsparingly honest about her own experience of addiction to dating apps-- and hilarious in her musings about dick pics, sexting, dating FOMO, and more. Does Big Dating really want us to find love, she asks, or just keep on using its apps? -- adapted from jacket.
