Synopsis

"When it comes to dating, I seem to be going around in a circle. The ones I want don't want me, and the ones who want me, I don't want."-Amelia “I don’t know, I just think there’s too much miscommunication between guys and girls. I mean, no one knows what the fuck is going on. We need to have the discussion. We need to vent it and get it out in the open,” I said, grabbing my drink from the bedside table. _______ sat on the edge of the bed and put his shirt back on. “What do you want to know?” “I just want to know what guys are thinking. I mean we have sex and stuff and nothing lasting ever comes of it,” I said, taking a cigarette out and lighting it. I knew I shouldn’t be smoking in the room, but I was too drunk to care. “I don’t think I should say. We don’t know everything girls are thinking. I think some things are better left unsaid.” “I want to know. I’d prefer shit to be clearer, because I’m always confused,” I replied. I could tell he was still a bit sexually frustrated, but he seemed okay to chat. “Go ahead then, ask what you want. I’ll try give it to you as straight as I can. But don’t hate the messenger,” _______ responded, taking the champagne from my hand and having some. “I won’t, promise. So why do guys act so interested and then not get in touch at all? ?” I asked. Excerpt taken from The Modern Break-Up.

Goodreads review by Clodia on December 19, 2019

RATING: 4.75 Can you believe I'm actually reviewing a contemporary romance novel? Because I can't. I usually tend to stay away from this genre, mainly because it doesn't give me what I need to escape reality and forget my real-life issues. One thing I know for sure: the marketing behind this book was......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on December 17, 2019

Well I have severe mixed opinions over this one. There’s some really interesting insights into the modern dating world which I found helpful. I actually ended up highlighting a lot throughout. However, I can’t stand the delivery of the information. It’s written like a story but the characters are bl......more

Goodreads review by Mary E. Lynch on October 02, 2019

Perfect read for me at this point in my life. Not sure how the male author nailed the female perspective so well, but this whole book was amazing. As a single woman in my late 30s, I have asked literally all of the same questions of men and had no Nick or Paul to ask for answers. Great and easy read......more

Goodreads review by Michael on December 17, 2019

A short story about the current dating scene that basically sounds like a bad Disney movie. Provides minimal insight and just wasn’t that good—also got weirdly erotic for two pages and didn’t flow with the rest of it.......more

Goodreads review by Maria on March 29, 2021

Thank you to @themodernbreakupbook on Instagram for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review! The book was good, but for me it just read like a dramatic inner dialogue, or a character piece of a movie, if you will. It definitely touched a lot on why people do the things they do, and it's de......more
