I didn't love this. I think it was funny and would be a good coffee table book and I honestly expect more. I don't think I will be sharing this on my social media because the cover wasn't that high quality on the version on got and wouldn't stimulate anything worth mentioning. |

A collection of witty observations on the trials and tribulations of online dating, the dangers of auto-correct, and some classic mis-understandings. The good points: This is definitely a book for the bathroom - something to dip into occasionally for a little chuckle. Alternatively, maybe a joke present for someone currently dabbling in the online dating game. The bad points: The layout isn't great on the kindle format (reading on my phone via the kindle app). Also it's probably not the sort of book I would re-read. |

This book made me think, textfromlastnight meets tinder. I would out definitely consider this a coffee table book. It makes for interesting conversation, imaging the horrors of some messages. It doesn't have to be read in continuous order, so it's perfect to leave out and just open to any random page and read the funny message exchanges. This should be considered a light read, took me about 20 minutes to read with a few interruptions. |
Very short and read in 30 minutes. Still hilarious though and a good coffee table book. I am sure we can all relate to some of the one liners in this book and weirdo messages if ever you have online dated lol 😂 |

When I saw the description for this, I wasn't really sure what it was... a novel, a self help book? It turned out to be actual text messages from people on dating apps. It was really entertaining and made me so glad I've been happily married for 30+ years and don't have to deal with what are apparently a lot of idiots out in the dating world. My only complaint is that it was so short - took me only about 10-15 minutes to read. If you're looking for a quick, fun read, then this is. |
First, I want to thank Lost the Plot, Pantera Press and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. Being single is hard enough let alone this day in age with modern technology. Ever rolled your eyes at a bad text you got from a guy/girl? Well then you need to read this book!! #Single by Lost the Plot Dating in the 21st Century Based on the Popular Blog TinderTuesday is just the book for you! This book will have you rolling on the floor laughing your booty off thinking did they really text that?! You will now understand why some people are still single!! Lost the Plot set this book to look like a long text from different people and she categorized them too. It may be a short read but it is packed with comedy!! One tip don’t voice text when having road rage and trying to send a sweet text message to your honey!! It wont come out well. |
I had not heard of this book or the writer before, if I'm being honest. I read the synopsis and thought it was smart enough to make me pick it up! I laughed so hard at some of these! I'm not sure if the conversations are actually taken from Tinder profiles, but they are sharp-witted, funny and utterly brilliant! I would suggest this one as a "light" read. It is small in size and easy to read and it took me less than 20 minutes. I may actually try some of the lines in there, if I ever end up online dating. Should be fun! |

The book gives a fairly accurate account of the colourful personalities you might meet on dating apps. It made me LOL at numerous sections. However, text was really brief and i finished the book very quickly. I would highly recommend this book for people with very short attention spans. |
It only took me like 20 minutes to read the whole thing, the book isn't long at all, but it was hilarious! As someone who uses Tinder and dating sites, I could really relate to the messages women were getting. Men are such idiots! haha I loved it and it was cute and funny and really brightened an otherwise bad day. |
I did not like this book. I did not understand the concept of it. Plus the ebook version was not doing any good to it. |
What even is this book? Like, it's hilarious, but I really hope these aren't real tinder conversations, because geez. |
While the premise sounded interesting, this really wan't anything more than you can get following a Twitter or Instagram page. It was a series of bad Tinder conversations. When I saw the cover and read the description, I thought it was going to be a novel about a woman trying to date on Tinder. Perhaps I just misunderstood the book when I downloaded it. |
I loved it quirky funny read reminds me of some of my accidental errors funny lighthearted enjoyable the layout confused me a bit though trying to see who was sending what but over all good!! |

Definitely a book that will make anyone who has ever tried online dating laugh. The exchanges are, at times, cringe-worthy, but definitely relatable for modern daters! |
#Single is equal parts hilarious and cringe, they are in essence both why the online dating is a battleground and how it's the perfect place for hilarious conversations. It felt strange going straight into the conversations without an introduction, I feel it would definitely have benefited from a small introduction. |

This is trash... total trash and not a book... how do people like this even get published? Another symbol of disconnection in our world which is sad and not something I need to read about... Definitely not on my list of favorites |
Quite entertaining! #Single is a quick and funny read. You don't even have to have any Tinder experiences to get the jokes. Some were quite cringey, too. Only thing is I don't know if they're real messages or if this was a social experiment. I've never heard of TinderTuesday and it looks like the site is nonexistent now. That doesn't look speak well for publicity/reader trust. |
