Falling in love is a beautiful experience that has been transformed by the internet into something both strange and fascinating. Is This Love or Dopamine? is a hilarious and poignant exploration of the world of online dating, featuring screenshots from real-life conversations. Creator and journalist Iona David delves into the highs, horrors, and heartbreaks of online dating, from the initial DM slide to the inevitable ghosting, from f*ckboys and Tinder anthems to loaded emojis and revenge selfies. She offers advice on how to navigate the complexities of online dating, such as deciphering whether someone uses "teehee" in a sext (run for the hills) or has a photo of themselves holding a massive fish on their profile (run faster).

This book is a tribute to all the hours spent swiping on dating apps, laughing, crying, and ultimately deleting and re-downloading them. It serves as a reminder that the internet has forever changed the way we connect with others, and that love, in all its forms, can be found in the most unexpected places. Whether you're a seasoned online dater or a newcomer to the world of digital romance, Is This Love or Dopamine? is a must-read for anyone who wants to laugh, learn, and embrace the weird and wonderful world of internet dating.
