This is a hilarious, eye-opening tour of the new romantic landscape, from one of
America's sharpest comic voices and one of its leading sociologists. In the old
days, most people would find a decent person who lived in their village or neig
hbourhood, and after deciding they weren't a murderer, get married and have kids
- all by the age of 22. Now we spend years of our lives searching for our perfe
ct soul mate and, thanks to dating apps, mobile phones and social media, we have
more romantic options than ever before in human history.
