Treena Orchard, a lifelong luddite, embarked on a journey of digital dating after a much-needed break from relationships. However, her experience was far from the fun and easy experiences advertised on swiping platforms. Instead, she encountered endless upkeep, ghosting, fleeting moments of sexual connection, and a steady flow of misogyny. In her book, "Sticky, Sexy, Sad: A Guide to Modern Romance," Orchard uses her skills as an anthropologist who studies sexuality and a sex-positive feminist to explore what it feels like to want love while also resisting the addictive pull of platforms designed to make us swipe-dependent. She asks important questions for those searching for love in the modern era: What are the social and human impacts of using dating apps? How can we maintain our integrity and warm-blooded desire for intimacy while swiping? Can we resist some of the problematic aspects of swipe culture? Is love on dating apps even possible? Orchard's book is a remarkable guide to staying true to ourselves amid the digitization of love in the twenty-first century. Told with humor and vulnerability, it cracks the code of modern romance and offers a refreshing perspective on the challenges and opportunities of dating in the digital age. Orchard's book is a must-read for anyone who has ever used a dating app or is interested in the impact of technology on our relationships. It offers a unique and insightful perspective on the challenges and opportunities of modern romance and provides practical tips for staying true to ourselves while navigating the digital landscape. Whether you're a seasoned dater or a newcomer to the world of online dating, "Sticky, Sexy, Sad" will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the complexities and joys of finding love in the modern world.
