This was a bit of a disappointment. I was looking forward to this book as a friend had been raving about it and it just fell flat with me. Shame. Just not as good as the hype.

This was more Buzzfeed listacle than book but it still made me laugh. #Single is a quicky and funny book.

If you have ever online dated, then this book will appeal to you. You know how sometimes you think, "this is only happening to me?" Well, #Single is here to offer some laughs in seeing that you're not the only one navigating dating in the internet world. A short and clever read, a book all of your friends will enjoy and have fun reading.

This book was very quirky and funny. Had me laughing out loud! I wasnt expecting all the texts messages. But I enjoyed it none the less.

Not great. A kind of sub buzzfeed mishmash of cobbled together text exchanges. I’ve seen funnier on Twitter.

Did not manage to download this book on time. I am very sorry that I did not manage. Thanks for the opportunity.

There were some funny conversations but not enough for me to really enjoy this book. It was so short and kindle format is probably not the best option for flow.

Touching Story
When I read #Single by Lost the Plot I did laugh a number of times. This book is sort and it took me about 15-20 minutes to read. I do wish the book was longer and since I read it on my Kindle Paperwhite it was difficult to read because the font was in different colors and my kindle displays black and white text to some of the text was light. Overall, I did like #Single I just wished there was more and that the text was easier to read.

Not my cup of tea. I am not a fan of the way it was written. Some of it was funny but not something I would read again.

A funny book but I think I would've enjoyed it more if it contained an introduction & commentary on the texts as opposed to just being a collection of texts.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks NetGalley!

Pretty short book with some hilarious text exchanges between strangers. As a single woman myself, i laughed out loud a few times.

This was a funny and short read. I would buy this book for my forever single friends who love the online dating scene.

Not sure that the book transferred well to Kindle when I downloaded it. Format was really wonky. Also it only took me about 30 minutes to read. I can't figure out if the book is really, really short or what. The format doesn't make this feel like a book. There were a few times I found it funny but mostly it wasn't worth my time. I normally don't give bad reviews but this was a stinker. I would not have been happy if I paid for it.

Some hilarious text exchanges between strangers that everyone who has some sort of experience with online dating will be able to relate to.

This book has its moments but overall I didn’t find this super funny. It’s a collection of texts/messages that people have experienced through online dating. It also didn’t transfer well to the kindle version so it was pretty difficult to read.

As someone who has dated in the 21st century, parts of this book were super relateable. However, I didn't really care for it overall - I found it to not be saying a lot about the current dating world and instead was just sharing not that funny, not that uncommon text exchanges from dating apps.

This book was a lighthearted and funny look at what dating is like for single people in the time of dating apps. I would recommend this book to someone who is looking to laugh at/with other people who are struggling with dating.

This was a fun and fast read. Some of the interactions had tears rolling down my face I was laughing so hard. Some did remind me of others I had seen other places but all in all, this was a fun read.

This is literally just a collection of conversations taken from some tumblr account about dating apps. No commentary, no essays between, nada. There are 682947 Instagram accounts that offer the same as this but actually add commentary. This is not a “book” in any traditional sense.

Initially I downloaded the Kindle version to my Kindle Voyage and to my Kindle app on my phone. Both doesn’t seem to display properly. Downloading the PDF version worked like a charm; third time lucky!

As someone who has never tried tinder, reading this made me wonder whether I’ll survive the experience. Great read during lunch break, finished in one sitting.
