Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience

A unusually fascinating insight into the world of online dating and what different message might mean, trends, and how things may be interpreted. Ive never read anything like this before and I found it to be really interesting. Packed with research, the writer knows their stuff. Good read.

An actual expert’s data based approach to interpreting what text messages in a relationship can mean. We all have such a different manner of understanding words without the context of tone and body language. I won’t be taking any of these as a rule of thumb, but they definitely do offer a lot of insight into human behaviour and communication.

I didn't realise just how much I needed this book. Informative and fun - a must have dating companion for the modern day over-thinker.
