pithypants reviewed Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
Review of 'Modern Romance' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I found it ironic that Aziz Ansari wrote a book about "modern romance" so I was curious to see what he wrote – and the book was available on my library's app. I was surprised because I thought this book would be more of a comedic memoir, but it's feels more like an extended NYTimes piece reporting on a study about how text messaging has shaped dating culture. I can't argue with his central thesis, I was just surprised that this book used more of a studious lens than a stand-up lens. I don't think he's found his niche yet when it comes to books.
