This book was extremely pragmatic, ridiculously humor-filled, and brought to light a lot of valid and wise points to my life when it comes to romance. I thoroughly enjoyed every page while simultaneously benefiting from the sound advice. I highly recommend to everyone.

It was pretty good but the writing style a bit snarky. Sometimes I found it amusing but other times I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm and that's confusing. There's a lot of helpful information and advice which seems like it should be common sense but it's not.

This wasn't quite what I expected, and I liked that about it. The author doesn't take himself too seriously, but also gives solid advice and questions to consider. I really liked the format with the scenarios, questions, quizzes, and truth or bullshit for each topic.

I *loved* the authors' previous book. Their approach was a perfect blend of exceptionally practical insights and a "busting your chops because we love you" sense of humor. Here, it feels like they ran out of content and decided to fill the rest in with fluff snark. The book got tiring to read, as the attitude overshadowed helpful insights. Feels like the authors gave a bit too much attention in coming off as edgy that they lost sight of why the first book was such a success.

Yuck. I thought this would be more like [b:It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy|33353|It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy|Greg Behrendt|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388290263s/33353.jpg|577082] with a combination of wit and humanism with some good advice thrown it. This was not that. This book is flippant, materialistic, superficial and mainly Yuck. I wouldn't want to be the person they write about, either the good or bad versions.

first let me begin this review by saying i’m gay and i don’t think i’m the main audience for this book, despite the authors’ insistence it’s neutral in that sense. i love reading pop psych books on relationships but i found parts of this one so hard to read since they were badly written, lots of the jokes offensive, and some of the advice weird. i understand the premise and i understand the idea behind it, but there are so many other better books out there that handle this topic in a way catered toward millennials that you can def skip this one and be totally fine.

Some of this felt like really solid relationship advice and other parts felt incredibly off-base. It was an interesting read/listen though.
