N2  - "In Millennial Love, journalist Olivia Petter explores the questions, anxieties and quirks that consume the contemporary dating landscape and asks why, despite us having endless technology designed to aid communication, it still feels so difficult to form authentic relationships. Olivia expands on issues discussed in her chart-topping podcast, including how dating apps have reshaped our perceptions of attraction and the specific impact that reality TV shows have had on the ways we think about relationships. Olivia also interrogates the impact of social media, looking at everything from the anxiety provoked by read receipts to what it really means to slide into someone's DMs. Wider social movements are examined too, with Olivia asking how #MeToo triggered important conversations around consent and the wider implications those conversations have had on our love lives. Combining memoir with social commentary and interviews with former podcast guests, including Munroe Bergdorf, Elizabeth Day and Lisa Taddeo, Millennial Love is an essential handbook on what it means to love today." -- Back cover
