"For those looking for a smart, no-bullshit, effective guide to finding love, look no further."--Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity

"While I'm not sure what Carrie Bradshaw would have made of today's new world of dating, I do know this: armed with Love Rules, she would have figured it all out in one season."--Sarah Jessica Parker

Sheryl Sandberg empowered women to lean in. Arianna Huffington Encouraged them to thrive. Now, Joanna Coles guides them on their most important journey: finding love. Love Rules will enable you to identify what you want in a relationship, when you should pursue it, and how to find it.

Just as there is junk food, there is junk love. And like junk food, junk love is fast, convenient, attractively packaged, widely available, superficially tasty--and leaves you hungering for more. And both junk food and junk love require enormous amounts of willpower to resist.

Social media and online dating sites have become the supermarkets of our relationship lives. You have to wade through rows of cupcakes and potato chips to find the produce aisle, where those relationships grounded in intimacy and trust live--the ones worth your investment. A diet book for romantic relationships, Love Rules first asks women to re-assess the way they think about their relationships, and then helps them use that newfound awareness to navigate their love lives more successfully in this very modern, fast-paced--and often lonely--digital age.

In these pages leading media exec and former Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire Joanna Coles provides a series of simple guidelines for finding worthwhile love: fifteen rules--love "hacks." She also explains how to use dating apps effectively to expand real world connections and how to avoid DADD--dating attention--deficit disorder, where the tantalizing promise of someone better appears to be only the next swipe away.
