40 Days of Dating: An Experiment by Timothy Goodman, Jessica Walsh
4.0
I am a sucker for a good RomCom. This pretty much hits that spot in a very nonfiction way. As a story, it has all the moments one wants: hope, longing, adventure, drama, and personability. I found myself reflecting on my own relationships and how I've occupied the spaces of boyfriend and lover, as well as friend.
The design work is pretty phenomenal, which, unfortunately, is where this book falls short. It cuts into a lot of the deign work when turning to the next page, which is frustrating when the writing and art communicate with one another. I wish the editors had planned the page breaks better. This book feels much like a supplement to the website. The Website shows more graphic works and motion graphics that aren't shown (or can't be shown) in the book. I found myself reading from the book while being on the website to experience the full impact of the art work.
All in all, it's a great book to read and find more insight to the before and after of the project. As well, to relate to the ups and downs of love. 4 out of 5 stars.
