Nothing Personal: My Secret Life in the Dating App Inferno by Nancy Jo SalesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received a copy Nothing Personal: My Secret Life in the Dating App Inferno by Nancy Jo Sales from Hachette Books via NetGalley.
As a single woman in her late 40s, I do sometimes think about getting on the dating apps again. It has been almost 10 years since the last time I tried. Nothing Personal seemed like the answer to all my questions. I found it really interesting that Nancy Jo decided to set her age range for rather young men in their 20s. I also appreciate that while she was learning the horrors of online dating from young people she was interviewing for her documentary, she was secretly going through them herself. She was a lot more generous with some of the guys than I would have been.
If you are wondering if I will be getting on the apps after reading this book, the answer is a resounding HELL NO. My forever gratitude to Nancy Jo Sales for going through this and sharing her story, so I don't have to. In the midst of a global pandemic, the idea of serial hook-ups is rather terrifying. Pandemic or not, this book confirms that if you are looking for more than a hook-up, the apps aren't going to get you there. You are more likely to find a unicorn in the wild. If you are thinking of putting yourself out there again to find a relationship, save yourself some trouble and just read this book.
