Blythe Beecroft's Reviews > How to Not Die Alone: The Surprising Science That Will Help You Find Love

My mother has a habit of sending me a book about dating or relationships promptly after a break up. After my most recent, I decided to beat her to the punch and pick one for myself. This is one of the better books on dating that I have come across. It is never patronizing and offers pretty practical advice. The infusion of behavioral science was interesting and I think the book is unique in its scope, which covers every stage of the relationship cycle.

I found her exploration of why people are inclined to stay or leave relationships aka "hitchers vs. ditchers" particularly interesting, as a hitcher who has dated several ditchers. Overall, the kind of book you wish everyone you've ever dated had already read.
