It was a good overview of some of the ways modern-day misogyny is perpetrated and happening on dating apps, but it was quite superficial. Very fun to read though.

For whatever reason, when I picked this book up I was under the impression that this was going to be an academic look at misogyny in the modern dating scene, spoiler alert: it's more-so a guide on how to navigate online dating and a lot of self-help-y stuff!

I would like to credit the book on it's palatable nature,  but the chapters were really hits or misses. Also wasn't a fan of the sarcastic writing style, but I think it adds charm and would appeal to larger sections of people. All in all, a great attempt at discussing the undisclosed :)

Like most books of this nature, I wish I'd read it when I was much younger.

I already knew a lot of the things exposed in this book, since I am pretty knowledgeable in how dating apps work, but it's a great book for those who are just getting started. Actually you should read this and "Block, Delete, Move On" before downloading any dating app.

This book takes a lot of the messages from the @tindertranslators instagram and places them in a book for convenient gifting. There is a breadth of topics from generalised misogyny of online dating to domestic and sexual abuse. I would have loved if the chapters were a bit longer with more examples/detail but it is an easy to digest social commentary on modern dating.

An easy read, not THAT insightful but nevertheless a fun and accessible read. Grammatical error on P35 which made me doubt the book and I felt that some of the chapters which had no explanation were a bit of a cop out. Love that there were recommendations at the end of the book tho!
