BABY PIGEON: It's Rare To See One, And It's Rare To Find True Love Matt Bird

Dating in the 21st Century has changed everything, with more and more people settling down later in life, and with one in three couples meeting online via dating apps. Author Matt Bird has been confounded by this new normal, and across his latest book attempts to find the answer to the question: Does online dating actually work? Across a hilarious journal of his struggles with online dating, of which he kept a detailed account of his countless disastrous dates as primary research into the possibilities of finding love, Matt tries (and mostly fails) to see what other people get out of such a strange social dynamic. Some dates went well, some ended without much fanfare but more often than not there was always a hilarious story to relay, and another mile clocked on the seemingly never ending pursuit of happiness in the dating world. Matt learns something from every date he goes on, but even from the beginning he knows he's completely out of his depth. He's just a normal bloke, but his online dating journey was anything but normal, as he was forced to traverse the weird and wonderful situations he was thrown in with increasing hilarity. He might not have found the love he was looking for, but he'll have stories that'll stay with him - and now you - for life...
