Very much enjoyed listening to this; I imagine reading it wouldn’t be quite as full of an experience, since Aziz’s voice is so distinctive and gave me a much more intimate relationship with the book than I’m used to. Ansari does a good job of blending in jokes with more serious subject manner, sort of like Oliver’s Last Week Tonight (but way better). The historical framing of romance was interesting but the parts most valuable to me were narratives of those currently dealing with the frustrations of dating, on which the book spends most of its time. Would recommend a listen.
