Dating in Berlin: Tales of Modern Love and Relationships

by Lulu Johnson

Modern dating is not a fairytale.

With the over-availability of sex, people these days have a hard time settling for one person.

Dating apps are a breeding ground for the emotionally unavailable because now that sex is easier to get, love is harder to find.

Lulu Johnson shares her dating experiences since moving to Berlin, Europe’s Singles Capital. She discovered that finding love is not the fairytale she had been brought up to believe. From surviving a toxic relationship, discovering on a first date that she was in the company of a mass murderer, to dealing with the highs and lows that come with searching for love in a city overcrowded with fuckboys and too much choice, she shares her stories so you don’t make the same mistakes she did.

Covering all aspects of dating; sex, rejection, confidence, self-esteem, and plenty of funny and relatable dating stories, this book will help guide you through this hell hole of dating in a culture where we have all become disposable to one another.

This book is a page turner. The author has really let herself be vulnerable for this. I think for anyone struggling to find what they're looking for in dating this book could really be relatable and comforting. For people who has been through tough dating times like myself, I think you will find the stories relatable, sad, funny and cringeworthy and you might be thanking your lucky stars by the end that your not currently in that dating market!

I tore through this book. I cackled, I cried, I nearly spit out my tea at the sheer audacity, and I found myself relating far too much to the outrageous stories that would seem utterly unbelievable to anyone who has never lived in Berlin.

Lulu Johnson has created an accessible, hilarious, and beautifully written roadmap for navigating the thorny, treacherous landscape of dating in the love desert we call Berlin. A must-read for anyone who's determined not to give up on finding love, or anyone who simply wants a laugh.
