This illustrated dating guide by cartoonist Sarah Akinterinwa, rooted in her experiences as a Black woman in her late twenties, encourages readers to be introspective, honest, and practical in their love lives. Through vignettes with scenes from modern dating, the book's main character walks the reader through the ins and outs of being single, defining what you want in a partner, navigating dating apps, the value of therapy, contending with family expectations, and remaining optimistic about finding a relationship that's right for you.
The book includes cheeky illustrated sidebars and commentary, such as:
A recipe for the perfect partner
Updated love languages
Dating affirmations you didn't know you needed
Advice for taking yourself on solo dates
And more, all with an inclusive perspective on race, sexuality, and body image
The stories, practices, and tips in this guide offer support for the lovelorn millennial, and anyone wading through the challenges of dating and being single in today's world, leaving the reader with the recognition that there might not necessarily be "one" perfect partner or way to be in a relationship, but rather, many possibilities—in dating and in life.
CARTOONS THAT SPEAK TO OUR EXPERIENCE: Sarah Akinterinwa's comics on millennial issues are a hit—from surviving Christmas with your toxic family, to the secret life of houseplants, to her New Yorker cartoon series Oyin and Kojo featuring a Black couple and their adventures in dating.
SWIPE RIGHT: Akinterinwa's take on dating as a millennial, using apps, contending with hookup culture, body positivity, and her inclusive perspective on race and sexuality make this book extra-relevant to anyone managing dating life right now.
LGBTQIA+ CONTENT FRIENDLY: Dating scenes throughout the book reflect a range of experience, inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community.
