The Love Fix

Swiping, situationships, ghosting... Dating is hard. Why is it so easy to make connections yet so hard to maintain them? Sex and dating journalist Rachel Thompson blends her decade-long investigation of love post-dating apps with expertise from mental-health professionals and socialists alongside interviews with real people to find answers. With care for marginalised communities, this book reveals: why our odds of finding someone compatible are 1 in 562; the scientific meaning of ‘the spark’; how technology warps communication and self-esteem; why we’re becoming more sensitive to rejection; what real emotional availability looks like. An essential resource for nurturing your wellbeing and establishing healthy connections and boundaries, The Love Fix offers love beyond the algorithm.
