This is a lovely, light-hearted book. I found myself smiling and nodding along to the “guys” that were introduced. The author doesn’t take herself too seriously and has written an enjoyable book which would make for a great birthday gift for friends and is so relevant for millennials still swiping, bumbling, tindering and dating to find their person. I really enjoyed it and loved how quick a read it was.
Thank you for the ARC!

What a cute, fun read! This book kind of has all the things that you love about Buzzfeed: short, funny anecdotes, fun quizzes and other games, creative call-outs, and some pretty solid advice beneath all the fluff. This is a quick read that every reader could enjoy; everyone could find a little bit of familiarity with some of these dating experiences. I especially loved that the author took the time to go back and talk to these exes about their dating experiences and relationships! It brings a level of authenticity to the table, and makes these stories more like a two-sided conversation. Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC!

This was funny and humorous even though it was frustrating at times because the author seemed like she was always complaining about her bad luck with men. However, the descriptions and wild stories kind of almost make up for that part. This was a good lighthearted book just to laugh your pants off. I read finished this in 2 sittings on a very rainy day in California.

PS- this does read young.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Didn't like there was a link for kindle, I had to download it to my computer. Other than that I am quite thankful for this early read.

This book will be good for those dating in their 20s. I thought this would be more general, but it really wasn't for me personally. The graphs and flowcharts are really cute, and I think this book will resonate wonderfully with the right audience! Thanks for the opportunity to review.

Twenty Guys You Date in Your Twenties was a quick and fun read. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times while Gabi Conti described stereotypes ranging from The Guy Who’s Not Your Boyfriend to The Guy You Always Go Back To. (Morale of the latter story, don’t.) I really enjoyed Conti’s play on each stereotypical type, and her personal stories were, unfortunately, way too relatable.

I rated this a 3.5 due to it being such a quick read.

Meh – this can be summed up by the raging sexist stereotype offered by "Victoria" who only dates younger guys. Don't get me wrong, the book itself isn't too bad when it comes to stereotypes, but the fact she gets a shoe-in when so seemingly biased against all the people she's ever shagged kind of shows how low quality these pages are. The core of the book is personal reportage from the author, whoever she is, trying to categorise all the guys she bedded in her 20s. These are followed by waste-of-space bingo sheets to cross-refer to if you think you're with one of those guy types, Venn diagrams, flow charts, decision-making quizzes, and so on and so light. Each guy's chapter concludes with the voice of an expert (and thankfully "Victoria" is by far the worst), and even feedback about the chapter from the real guy concerned, which might have been novel had I not seen a stage show doing pretty much that recently. Very disposable, and perhaps a hundred per cent false – one story, concerning the older guy, says both she had a mild panic when she thought she didn't know his birthday, and the next paragraph that she'd previously made and delivered a birthday card. I seriously doubt it could be both, love.

This was definitely quick and a book that gives you nostalgia. It’s funny and light and often times very spot on. Definitely a read for anyone in their twenties or beyond for a trip down memory lane. And one that will make you laugh.

This was a fast and highly entertaining read.
I finished it in one sitting and the whole time I was laughing out loud.

Not a book with depth, just a light and fun read for all women in their twenties. Come on we can all agree we've been there and had those dates.

The author captured these guys girls date so good, I was agreeing and nodding and going like ''yeah I know that guy... oh and that guy too''.

I can't give it more that 3 stars because it was not a book that will stick with me but it's definitely a book that was relaxing and it cheered me.

I am unable to open the pdf. I've tried to open it using Kindle, pocketbook reader and aldiko book reader too.

This book had me laugh crying and nodding along with memory. I loved it. The author captured it perfectly and will recommend to all my friends.

I have to justify why I give it a 3 and not a 4 star book: this is a funny book and even though there is nothing wrong with it and I really enjoyed the stories and the graphic detail put into the book, it’s a very easy and fast read, it made me laugh so I think it has completed its goal.
