’An insightful, honest guide to the vagaries of modern love.’ ELIZABETH DAY AUTHOR OF MAGPIE & HOST OF HOW TO FAIL‘All’s not fair in love and dating, and Petter is here to remind us that even when we are single, we are not alone. This book is a modern guide for falling in love (and in lust) in the digital era, where the lines of toxic behaviour (consent, ghosting, stalking, etc) are blurred. This love addict thoroughly enjoyed it.’Camille Charriere‘An important read for anyone dating in the time of dating apps.’ Aja Barber, author of Consumed‘Millennial Love is easy to read and Petter is an engaging guide to sensitive, personal subjects. The author is also remarkably candid about her own insecurities and mistakes, and brave enough to detail some of her own harrowing experiences. Hopefully, this honest, important book will leave a lot of young readers feeling more reassured and better informed about their own lives.’ THE INDEPENDENT‘A mouthpiece for our anxieties and a tonic for our hearts, Petter perfectly dissects why we’re not insane when it comes to love, the realities are their own madness.’ CHARLY COX‘Funny and honest.’ PANDORA SYKES‘Olivia Petter is a great journalist and a sharp-eyed chronicler of modern life and offers readers of all stripes and ages a great overview of relationships in the digital era’. MATT HAIG‘This is a sharp, funny and reassuring memoir-cum-chronicle of the modern dating landscape, charting everything from the trope of “the cool girl” to the tribulations of contraception in a voice that melds journalistic scrutiny with commendable frankness. Petter’s is a world in which Sylvia Plath, Love Island, Pandora Sykes and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days collide with satisfying verve…’ Vanity Fair London‘Honest, hilarious and heart-breaking’ Mail Plus
