The rest of the title: My Secret Life in the Dating App Inferno. I thought this might be a sort of lighter read about a lady around my age getting into dating using the apps that are around. It was that except for the lighter part. The author is a reporter and had done a couple articles while using this app but also had a sort of relationship with a much younger man she met on the app. After the articles she wanted to do a documentary about the apps and talks about the research and interviews and the ups and downs of this process throughout too. A lot about her personal life and the people around her and their experiences with dating today. She really was looking at the big downsides to these apps, the sexual assaults, rapes and more that seem to increase with using these apps. The whole idea of independent women making dating choices vs what is really happening with these apps. This is a much deeper read than what I thought it was going to be. I am glad that I have read it, probably more glad that I am not dating and need to think about using these apps.
There is 1 WL for this book and I will probably post & see about mailing off in the coming days.
