This was entertaining but predictable. I felt that it was the same topic that had been done better by other authors and experts. A quick read!

Thank you netgalley for this ARC i will say i definitely requested this book based on watching the bachelor and seeing nicks season i wanted to just see what it was all about and i know the title says its about dating advice but i thought maybe it would have had a bit of a memoir aspect to it as well.. I can see this book being for
someone who is a relationship person or wanting to know more of getting involved with dating and i did agree with most of these takes i feel like they were just the typical takes we all usually agree on and stuff i liked that he focused on boundaries alot and spoke to the reader and also hd Q AND A segments and stuff. I liked nicks journey on the show and to know he helps people now with dating advice is good. It wasnt a bad book i can see why certain people wouldnt enjoy the book based on his TV persona but i feel like that was so long ago and hes a different person now with the growth and his own journeys with dating like i said im not a watcher of his content i just requested from the show i saw him on.

I feel like this book will help some people navigating dating and life and stuff. If you are looking for that advice give this book a try!

I enjoy Nick Vialls podcast and felt the same about the book.His remarks opinions are thoughtful and he writes very well.A book that surprised me in a positive sense and I will be recommending.#netgalley #Abramsbooks

I tried to wipe my mind blank and go into this novel as someone who hasn’t watched Nick Viall on each of his prospective seasons or listened regularly to his podcast. I tried to approach this as a general read, not a Bachelor Nation read, since it’s a general advice book, not a Bachelor tell all. I’ve had moments in the past where I’ve disagreed with Nick, but I still wanted to read his book.

However, either my preconceived notions won out or this book really wasn’t right for me. I’m happily married, but I thought I’d still enjoy the book since I enjoy his podcast. That was not the case. Certain moments of the book resonated with me, but most of the time, I felt like I was being mansplained or condescended. I agreed with a lot of the content about non-negotiables and boundaries, but it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before. Overall, not a win for me.

As an avid listener of The Viall Files, I had high hopes going in with NIck Viall’s “Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday.” His podcast is hilarious and can be enlightening with the guests he has on. However; I felt that his advice book could have been short segments on his show and did not need to be branched out into a book. The chapter titles seemed silly and young. Most people who know Nick would know him from the Bachelor franchise and wouldn’t necessarily relate to the “comical” chapter names.

Okay I’ve always really liked Nick Viall but I absolutely adored this book of his. And I really needed to hear this.

I knew this book wasn’t going to be the juicy tell-all I wanted, but I at least thought it would be more Q&A style. This came across as very preachy and also very stale; none of this was new and it feels it was written for people who have no dating experience. I’m unclear who the audience of the book is, I assume Nick’s audience is primarily bachelor fans and I just don’t see them needing this content. This is a book I’m just not sure needed to be written. Would’ve been a better blog.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Insightful, easy to read and understand. I really enjoyed reading this and appreciated how it was written. It wasn’t demeaning and was respectful which is refreshing from a book like this. I learned a lot reading it and definitely recommend.
