Bad Dates

Bad Dates: A Cautionary Tale is a funny, candid look at dating, relationships, and the increasingly strange world of trying to find someone to share your life with.

Drawing on decades of dating experience, two marriages, two divorces, and more than a few dates that should have come with warning labels, Jennifer Brown takes readers through the good, the bad, the baffling, and the occasionally unbelievable.

From dating profiles and dating apps to ghosting, mixed signals, first-date disasters, and the question of what men and women actually want from each other, she examines how dating has changed and what may have been lost along the way.

Part memoir, part cautionary tale, and part practical advice, Bad Dates isn't about blaming men, women, or the dating apps. It's about recognizing our own part in the mess, laughing at the absurdity of it, and remembering that finding a good partner also means learning how to be one.
