Gabi Conti has logged more than ten thousand hours of dates and brought her expertise together in this fun, informative book that you’re going to want to read no matter where you’re at in your dating journey.
I found this book really entertaining and insightful. I loved the setup that reminded me more of a magazine with its charts, quizzes and BINGO boards. I particularly enjoyed the “Ask Someone Else” sections.
My favorite part by far was the “Now What” section. I enjoyed Conti’s sense of humor and really appreciated her honesty and insight. I highly recommend picking this one up, whether for advice or just for fun.
I received a copy in exchange for my review.
Ok, can I start off by just pointing out how cute this book is? It’s seriously one of the cutest books ever! And it’s really unique, it’s a paperback but also formatted like a hardcover (flaps and everything!). And the subject is just so perfect. Plus the book is formatted in a such a fun way! It’s not just a reading experience, but you also get to interact with the stories and even take quizzes as you read!
As a twenty something year old this book was the perfect read! The book had a lot of things that I could easily relate to, given my poor choice in previous relationships, as well as many things that made me want to take note of. I also really just loved how this book was set up. I always get really excited when I can interact in some way with a book. I don’t know, it just makes me happy and it’s just so fun!
The only thing I would like to point out (and I’ve seen some other reviewers mention this) is that I’m not sure how this book would work as an ebook. This is definitely one you’d want on your shelf and I think it just works better as a physical book. The quizzes and graphics and all of the fun things are something that you’ll want to not only see in color but to hold on to!
Y’all! This book! It’s hilarious but also the dating bible! It says dating in your twenties but in the online dating era this book is even relevant in my 40’s for sure!
I love the quizzes she offers, the charts and diagrams are spot on!
I have dated a handful of these 20 guys for sure:
The one who got away (but did he, I mean it may be better he did)
The Guy who’s long distance (I wouldn’t mind this now that I’m older haha)
The Guy you always go back to (YES!!)
The Guy who is your instant boyfriend
The Guy who texts at 2am (hmmmm)
The Guy who’s toxic
These are just a few and my list could go longer! I highly recommend this book for all ages of the dating spectrum!
Gabi Conti, Author of “Twenty Guys You Date in Your Twenties” has written a unique, fun, and intriguing peek into chapters of her dating experience in her twenties. The genres of this book are nonfiction, possibly memoir, and personal anecdotal information. One thing is for sure, Gabi Conti enjoyed her dating life and is giving her personal experience and feedback as a tool to guide people in these modern days of dating.
There are diagrams, quizzes, games, and opinions of others. My favorite part of this book is when the author specifically asks her “ex” or former boyfriend or date for their feedback. The timing is at least a decade ago. Gabi categories her chapters or “dates” as “The One That Got Away” or “The Guy That is Hotter Than You”. No doubt about it, but this is entertaining and at times very witty. The responses from these men shed some light as to what was going on at the time and was a learning experience for the author as well. It is amazing that she has been able to connect and catch up with these guys. I would recommend this delightful and entertaining book !!
