Nothing Personal

by Nancy Jo Sales (Hachette, $28)

Nancy Jo Sales’ new book is “very very personal,” said Judith Newman in The New York Times. Seeking to demonstrate that dating apps prevent people from finding lasting love, the veteran author “joins the Hunter S. Thompson school of gonzo journalism,” combining in-depth reporting with tales of her own appenabled hookups. Fortunately, “she has a gift for sex scenes.” But she seems to yearn for a world that can’t exist. “I kept thinking: Pick a lane. Have sex with hookups, but accept that there’s risk.”
