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.
