This was pretty decent. It would admittedly have been more interesting to me if I had been on a date in the past decade. Despite this, I still found it to be an interesting glimpse into single life these days.

I was expecting this to be a comedy book, but it ended up being much more. The blend of studies cited and anecdotal evidence, combined with Ansari's humor made this a winner. The book makes me appreciate that I'm no longer in the dating world in this age of social media. If you are in that world, this book provides a sane way to navigate through it.

I very much got this out from the library just because it's by Aziz Ansari. I assumed it was going to be a funny memoir a la "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" by Mindy Kaling, and that the title was just a title. It turns out it's kind of a sociology book. Kind of. Very funny, would recommend. Definitely would recommend the audiobook because Ansari is a really funny guy, and he does silly voices sometimes.
