F*ck Marry K!ll: Love in the Age of Dating Apps
30-year-old Ramona Carter thought she had her life figured out—until she got dumped for a grandmother. One hangover and a poorly timed rebound later, she realizes it’s time to start over. Reluctantly, she downloads the apps.
What starts as a casual experiment turns into a spreadsheet-fueled quest through red flags, mixed signals, and men who definitely should’ve stayed in therapy.
Told in dates, disasters, and dangerously honest reflection, F*ck Marry K! Love in the Age of Dating Apps is a brutally funny novel about trying (and failing) to game the system—and what you learn when you just keep showing up anyway.

Dating is a rollercoaster and Ramona’s journey proves it! We get to read Ramona's experience using dating apps for the first time. I enjoyed getting to read all the red flags. As Ramona begins to get frustrated so did I for her. I found myself right there with her. Laughing, cringing, crying and rooting for her happiness.
"Just because I don't want to keep forcing conversations with people who will never speak my language."
I do think the writing style was great and I really loved the concept of the book. That said, some parts did start to feel a bit repetitive, and the ending felt a little rushed. I was hoping for more time spent with Ramona actually finding happiness and love after everything she went through.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and I'm excited to have discovered a new author. I’ll definitely be checking out more of their work!

F*ck, Marry, K!ll - a story about Ramona, who gets dumped by her long-term boyfriend and embarks on a journey through dating apps. She goes on a staggering 75+ dates and boy were they something! Some had me laughing out loud, some cringing for our Ramona but they kept me locked in for the most part and the pages kept turning.
However, I couldn’t help but notice that Ramona is an alcoholic and really needed therapy more than anything else. I struggled a bit with that and all the ‘sweating drinks’.
Other than that, the book was funny, entertaining, insightful and certainly relatable as someone who was once on dating apps myself and understands how draining they can be - I’m certainly more grateful for my husband after reading some of Ramona’s dates!

I met my husband when I was 20 and never once had to go on a dating app, and I have never been more grateful for that fact than when I read this book! The premise was funny, and it definitely had some parts that made me chuckle, but overall, I thought the book was repetitive. There’s only so many bad dates you can read about before it gets old. However, I did enjoy the writing style and structure of the book! It’s a good book if you’re looking for a quick, light read!

When I saw the cover of this book and read the synopsis, I thought I was in for a funny read... I'm sad to report I was wrong. The truth is the more I read, the more I disliked the book, and I only kept on reading because I'd been given a free copy to review.
I had two main problems with this novel—the repetition and the main character.
The story seems to be on a loop it can't get free from. Ramona gets a date, the date is terrible, she logs it on the spreadsheet, then proceeds to tell it to her coworkers. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat, repeat, repeat. We have the first person account of the disasters she signs up for (in many cases, knowingly. She doesn't really like the men she chooses, but does it for her quirky experiment. It's science!) immediately followed by her telling the same story, beat by beat, to the people that should eventually be calling her out on her bullshit (but never really do).
Except for two guys, all the rest are terrible (and we're speaking of around 75 guys in total). At first, you could say it's realistic (dating apps are, after all, a wild jungle), but as the story progresses, the dates start turning far-fetched. And boring. Because you know how they'll end (badly and registered on her Excel spreadsheet) and you'll hear about them ad-nauseum. The word spreadsheet? It appears at 54 times throughout the book. This is all Ramona does—date, drink heavily, log, report, repeat.
And she's not even trying to make things work. Quite the contrary, in her own words.
...I catch myself looking for something to be wrong.
...Now I just label them like exhibits in a museum of poor choices.
But back to the repetition issue, it's not only what we're being told, but also the way it's being told. The structuring of sentences is very similar. For examples, descriptions started by "like it" (Cleavage like it deserves its own zip code, I stare at it like it has betrayed me, Leo wipes down the bar like it owes him something personal...) are thrown at the reader over 100 times (in the literal sense. I stopped counting once I reached 100). The author also enjoys describing smells with things that should not be describing smells (I swear the mop water smells faintly like judgement, One smells like beef jerky and philosophy, The air outside smells like asphalt and wasted time, The soap smells like lemongrass and anxiety...), and using the no something, no something, just something structure (No memory. No clue. Just the throb of my temples..., No music. No calls. Just the ticking of my turn signal..., No glow-up, no happily ever after. Just my face..., No performance, no gesture. Just getting dressed...). In fact, in the last 15% of the book, the word just appears 75 times. At one point it felt like I was reading the same thing again, because it was eerily similar to what I've read before.
So the plot was... dating. And not much else. It didn't seem to be an overarching storyline, because there was no progress. No character development. Nothing.
Ramona doesn't learn from her mistakes. She keeps on committing them, collecting bad experiences like it's a hobby. There's no growth, no enlightenment, no changes. She drinks heavily (I'm not even drunk when I match with Jamie. That's the part that makes me nervous.) and it's never addressed. She never tries to bettering herself in any way, because for her it's the world's fault that she doesn't get what she thinks she deserves. She doesn't reflect on her shortcomings, nor makes any attempt to work on herself.
So when the ending happens, it doesn't feel earned. Her self-destructive tendencies aren't challenged, the drinking problem isn't treated, her being mean to people even when undeserved isn't pointed out. Ramona was simply brash and unlikeable while victimizing herself, which earned zero pity points from me. This woman needed therapy, or at least a wake up call. Not a
All in all, I would not recommend this book.

Fck Marry K!ll: Love in the Age of Dating Apps* is a sharp, funny, and painfully relatable exploration of modern dating that feels tailor-made for anyone who has ever downloaded an app with hope in their heart and skepticism in their gut.
At the center of the novel is Ramona Carter, a woman reeling from an unexpected breakup and reluctantly reentering the dating scene. What follows is a refreshingly honest and often hilarious chronicle of swipes, dates, red flags, mixed signals, and emotional whiplash. Geiersbach captures the absurdity of dating apps with precision, from awkward first meetings to the strange intimacy of texting someone you barely know, all while maintaining a strong emotional core.
One of the book’s greatest strengths is its voice. The humor is sharp without being cruel, self-aware without becoming self-pitying. Ramona’s habit of tracking her dating life with spreadsheets adds a clever structural element that mirrors how many people try to impose logic and control on something as messy as love. Beneath the jokes and satire, the novel asks thoughtful questions about vulnerability, choice overload, and what it means to truly connect in a digital world designed for disposability.
Geiersbach doesn’t romanticize dating apps, but she doesn’t dismiss them either. Instead, she presents modern dating as it often is: exhausting, ridiculous, occasionally demoralizing, but still full of possibility. The book balances laugh-out-loud moments with quieter reflections on self-worth, boundaries, and growth, making it feel both entertaining and emotionally grounded.
Fck Marry K!ll* will resonate especially strongly with millennials and anyone navigating dating in the age of endless options and constant comparison. It’s a smart, funny, and empathetic novel that manages to be both a satire of dating culture and a sincere story about learning what you want — and who you are — along the way.
If you’ve ever swiped “just one more time,” this book will feel like being seen.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Sara Geiersbach delivers a hilariously relatable contemporary novel, capturing the absurdity and emotional complexity of modern dating with sharp wit and brutal honesty. Geiersbach's strength lies in her authentic portrayal of dating app culture. Geiersbach skillfully balances humor with genuine emotion, showing how the constant rejection and mixed signals of app dating can chip away at one's confidence while also providing moments of unexpected connection and growth.
The episodic structure works perfectly for this story, with each dating disaster building into a larger narrative about resilience and self-worth. Ramona's voice is refreshingly honest. She's neither a perfect heroine or a hot mess, but a real woman trying to figure out what she wants from love and life.
The novel excels at capturing the specific frustrations of dating in your thirties, when everyone around you seems to be settling down while you're still swiping through profiles of men who "definitely should've stayed in therapy." The social commentary on dating culture feels organic rather than preachy, emerging naturally from Ramona's experiences.
Geiersbach's exploration of what happens when you "just keep showing up anyway" provides genuine insight into modern relationships and personal growth.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️🌶️
Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing for providing me with an advanced copy of F*ck Marry K!ll. As always, my opinions are my own!
I took the time and I was able to finish FMK in one sitting and I absolutely ate it up! I know this book was supposed to be posed as humorous and while it was, it also depicts the very real face of modern dating. Full of apps and awkward moments!
Following the loss of a miserable 7 year relationship, Ramona goes on a journey looking for data and proof that she can still be wanted. She begins traversing through dating apps and creating a spread sheet to record her experiences on her dates. Some are good but most are pretty bad.. and there are many! Gosh I think she goes on almost 80?! The girl was determined and a tad obsessed.
This book is witty, fun and a bit chaotic and the dates Ramona goes on are a bit ridiculous but that’s what makes it such an entertaining read. The ending was a tad swift and lacked detail but it was a HEA so I was satisfied!

Ok so I thought this was going to be a funny romance kind of book. I won’t lie I had a hard time getting into. I loved the idea of a girl entering today’s dating life but it wasn’t what I expected! But I feel like that is the point, there’s nothing glamour about dating. ESPECIALLY with all the technology we have 😆. I loved the friends!!! Leo and Kristen had me dying of laughter and are literally the GOAT of friends that we all need. I actually really liked the spreadsheet until it became too much. I had a hard time after a few chapters of the constant speed dating and the constant drinking. Like girl, is your liver ok 😆? I wish the ending wasn’t as rushed either. I would have LOVED to seen their chemistry and story. I feel like their banter and just clicking of personalities would have made the story sooooo much better!! I do think this book showcases the reality of dating, I just wanted a little more. Overall it was a pretty good read, I need to read more of her stories.
Got this as an ARC read from NetGalley 🖤

Fck Marry K!ll* is a witty and modern take on love, friendship, and the chaos of dating in the age of apps. Sara Geiersbach’s writing has a sharp, fun energy, and there were definitely moments that made me laugh out loud. The premise is clever, and the story captures the unpredictable, swipe-right world of romance in a relatable way.
That said, while I enjoyed parts of the humor and the social commentary, the pacing felt uneven in places, and some character choices didn’t fully click for me. I found myself wanting a bit more depth beneath the banter.
Overall, it’s an entertaining read with a playful concept and a few standout moments, but it didn’t fully stick with me the way I hoped. Still, if you enjoy quirky, modern romcoms that lean into dating app culture, this book might be a fun pick for you.

Wow I absolutely BINGED this book. Everything about it had me eating it up. There was one area that just dragged and got repetitive but then you realize…it was supposed to because that’s what Ramona was going through!!!
I laughed at all the ridiculous interactions and encounters with the dates. If any or even all of these dates with these men were based off real life stories, I would actually believe it! The male species as a whole? Let’s just say I’m thankful for my husband every single day 😂 to put things in the nicest possible way. But yes, this was an interesting insight to basically how the world is now and Sara made it very enjoyable. I highly recommend this book!

F*ck Marry K!ll: Love in the Age of Dating Apps by Sara Geiersbach is a funny, witty, read that has made me see dating apps in a completely different light. We follow our FMC Ramona, whose love life has fallen apart, and she embarks on a journey of trying dating apps for the first time. I was cringing, crying and laughing along with Ramona throughout all of it! I was also really rooting for her to find someone real and genuine and I think we can all relate to her dating frustration in this generation and all of the red flags. This was a lighthearted satire novel that’s great for anyone who needs a good laugh, and an entertaining plot!

Fck, Marry, Kill: Love in the Age of Dating Apps* is a raw, funny, and painfully relatable chronicle of contemporary love. Verjee dismantles the illusions of romance with biting humor and honesty, crafting a story that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.
It’s perfect for fans of fleabag-style narratives, modern feminist fiction, and unfiltered examinations of intimacy in the 21st century.
The fragmented structure (alternating between dates, messages, and inner thoughts) can feel disorienting.
Some readers may find the cynicism overpowering — the emotional tone rarely lets up.
Dialogue feels natural and often biting, while inner monologues dissect not only dating culture but also gender politics, loneliness, and the psychology of self-sabotage.

This was such a fast-paced and entertaining read! The way Sara built this story around the rating system had me cracking up more than once. I do wish there had been a little more detail on some of the actual dates, beyond the spreadsheet scores, just to get a deeper glimpse into how they played out. Still—77 dates?! Absolutely wild, especially when so many of them go nowhere. Ramona is blunt, straightforward, and unapologetic, which I admired, though at times she did frustrate me by not giving some of the guys a real chance. But honestly—when you know, you know, and Ramona is definitely not the type to settle!

“F*ck Marry K!ll: Love in the Age of Dating Apps” by Sara Geiersbach was a whirlwind chaotic adventure. While I definitely chuckled reading about some of Ramona’s disastrous dates, the format of the book did not do it for me. I didn’t care to read about her grading system for each date and would have preferred to read more about specific dates. For those of you that enjoy hearing about your friends’ dating adventures (and trauma), this might just be the book for you!

Ramona Carter’s love life is a disaster — freshly dumped, back on the apps, and spiraling through bad dates, worse decisions, and way too much self-reflection. What starts as a chaotic experiment turns into a hilarious, relatable deep dive into modern dating and what it means to actually want love.
It’s sharp, funny, and painfully real — like Bridget Jones meets a group chat full of red flags. Some parts drag a bit, but Ramona’s voice is so honest and self-aware that you’ll root for her anyway.

A fun read, not my usual type of book, but I still enjoyed it.
The book essentially gives you an idea of what modern dating is like, with all the weird dates and strange guys. The FMC is very determined, the number of dates she’s been on is unbelievable, I’d probably have given up much faster. Loved her spreadsheet as well, such a cool idea.

I met my husband before apps were popular, and Ramona made me very grateful for that fact. She really went on the worst of the worst dates. As an excel nerd, I appreciated her commitment to the spreadsheet, but I found the date + spreadsheet + sharing with friends redundant. I wish that maybe each retelling would include a different detail instead of just replaying the same thing a couple times. As mentioned, I haven't had to live through this, but I felt like there must have been a better way for her to vet some of these guys. I also can appreciate knowing when there isn't a spark, but some of the ways in which she disappeared or walked away from dates I found rude. On the plus side, I did find this to be a quick read and there were points where I was laughing out loud. I don't feel that Ramona had much character growth, but am happy she found a happy ending.

I expected this to be a funny romance story about using dating apps and honestly it was nothing like that, I mean I get what they were trying to do but for me personally it just didn’t work. It was really hard to get into and get through. Some bits were funny but by the end I think she just settled because what else was there for her to do!
Having never used dating apps myself I can’t relate to the story or any of the experiences and maybe that’s why the book fell short for me!

F*ck Marry Kill is a comedic anthropology of mediocrity of men on dating apps. Ramona makes a spreadsheet of all the men she’s dated in a marathon effort to meet someone, gamifying it with a “F*ck, Marry, Kill” category. What starts off as an experiment for Ramona transforms into a chaotically hilarious story of personal growth.
F*ck Marry Kill is a masterclass in wit and sarcasm. Ramona endures 70-something dates, from mediocre to absolutely unhinged. Recovering from a failed relationship, Ramona swipes yes on just about everyone, resulting in quantity over quality. Even when things feel safe, she finds a reason to run. As burnt out as she is, buried under all the snark, is hope. Sara Geiersbach built a poignant love story between a woman and her self-worth.
