True Stories from the Shallow End of the Dating Pool
S.E.Linn
Forget saving the world—she’s just trying to survive dating apps. Join author S.E. Linn on a wild and hilarious journey through the chaotic world of online dating in her new memoir, "Adventures in Online Dating." From the cringe-worthy encounters with a man and his cat-hair-covered adult toy, to the emotionally unavailable "Viking" with a wife and spa plans, this book is a rollercoaster ride of modern love. But amidst the laughter and relatable moments, lies a cautionary tale of the dangers of swiping right. Meet the fearless and unapologetic main character as she navigates the treacherous waters of online dating, armed with biting wit and brutal honesty. If you’ve ever said, “there are no normal men left,” or Googled "how to exit a date without faking your death," this book will make you feel grateful for never going on that second date. And for those who have survived the trials of dating apps, you will feel less alone and less likely to respond to that guy holding a fish. What Readers Are Saying: “I laughed. I cringed. I sent screenshots to my therapist.” — Probably someone in your group chat “This book is a full-body eye-roll in the best possible way.” — A woman who’s seen too much “Made me feel less alone and less likely to respond to that guy holding a fish.” — A dating app survivor
