Gabi Conti (Twenty Guys You Date in Your Twenties) and Rebekah Manley (Alexandra and the Awful, Awkward, No Good, Very Bad Date) talk modern romance. Between Manley’s parody picture book and Conti’s bitingly funny dating guide (which includes a section for “Boy Bingo”), anyone who’s spent hours staring at dating apps will likely recognize themselves.
