"Thanks to the digital world we live in, it's never been easier to go on a date. And yet, in these disrupted, turbulent times, it's also never been harder to find real love. [This book] will change that. Just as there is junk food, there is junk love. And like junk food, junk love is widely available, tantalizingly packaged, superficially tasty--and leaves you hungering for more. Social media and online dating sites have become the supermarkets of our relationship lives. You must wade through rows of cupcakes and potato chips to find the produce aisle, where those relationships grounded in intimacy and trust live--the ones worth your investment. A diet book for love, [This book] asks women to radically reassess the way they think about their romantic lives. In these pages, leading media exec and former editor in chief of Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire Joanna Coles provides a series of fifteen simple 'love hacks,' informed by concrete examples from both experts and women in the dating trenches. Fierce, smart, and above all effective, Love Rules is the modern woman's guide to love in the age of social media."--Dust jacket. |
