I liked how the author brought up relevant research with online dating and how personality can determine whether you add in lots of emojis like this, 🥰😍😋, or don't add any when you text. I'm certainly impressed that she added information about ethical monogamy and distinguished this from cheating in a relationship along with same-sex couples. However, I think this book could be improved if we learned more how similar or different the results would be for same-sex couples and couples where the partners have different sexualities, such as straight and bisexual, and so forth. I also want to learn more how these results differ for different races in the United States or other countries. Otherwise, it is a great book to learn from and I'll use less emojis when texting my boyfriend.

Great mix of scientific research, humor, and relatable language for any audience. Online dating is as prominent as every during the pandemic and this is a great book to not only learn about how the messages of potential matches reflect who they are but to also learn about yourself, how you communicate, and how you are perceived.
