Her passion and openness to connection and the pleasure she takes in physical intimacy, with no agenda other than being human, has stirred me deeply, but alas I am an old gay man. Be that as it may, I better understand women for having read this. I would suggest it be recommended reading for any man who wants to get insight into What Women Want.

This book has haunted me since I finished it. I miss Treena’s conspiratorial voice and her sympathetic outlook. Although she is much younger than me, I also remember “growing up in an era dominated by corduroy, avocado bathtubs and Freshen-Up gum”. Ms. Orchard’s writing reminds me of what I miss most in today’s Contactless society. Passion. Swipers will never know what is like to catch a stranger’s eye from across a crowded room when Cupid shoots his arrow. As the potential lovers make their way towards each other, in slow motion, like a Love’s Baby Soft commercial. The swiper panics and wants to ‘ghost’ But can only crouch to the floor and feign tying their shoe.

Read this book! It will help you understand how algorithms control our every romantic move. Treena’s vivid writing will remind you of the passion that remains IRL.”
