The title made me think this was going to be a funny criticism of modern dating and ultimately feminist, but she spends so much time obsessing about her crushes and "cute boys" that it just made me sad. This isn't feminism and I can't finish this book.
Very funny book. Not to be taken seriously as a dating guide, rather a comedic exploration of the author's dating history, but it does have many sweet and poignant insights.
2.5 I feel mislead by the title of this book. It’s mostly a “dating sucks, ami right?” vibe while also occasionally throwing in a “capitalism sux too! And patriarchy!”
Wowie. Excellent advice. Hilariously written. With a perfect amount of enraged feminist energy.
Even my white male consult thought some of it was funny. And accurate.

overall enjoyed but i think i had higher expectations
Was it the feminist how-to guide I was looking for? No. Did it make me cackle? Yes.
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
I've been wanting to read this for a LOOOONG time, and just was never in the right mindset for it. The best part of this book is the title, but it's a very good, lighthearted book that most millennials will likely nod along to as they read knowing they've experienced similar things.
3.5 stars; I was hoping for a little more out of this book, though I still found it enjoyable. Blythe’s writing is reminiscent of Samantha Irby’s stuff, though this book doesn’t quite meet the same humor threshold.
And, for what it’s worth, it’s pretty easy to tell by the reviews the folks that don’t relate to the content at all and therefore think it’s terrible. I am a 40 y/o single person, and while the author is (presumably) younger than me, I deeply related to some of her observations about trying to date in this current hellscape.
