The search for love in the twenty-first century is fraught with challenges and questions. Society and media have sold us the fairytale of one big, romantic love complete with sparks, chemistry, and passion. But does that really exist? Can you find it in real life? Are you better off using a dating app or are those only good for hook-ups? Then, if you do encounter that romantic love, can you make it last?
Consumer culture can trap you in a cycle of always looking for the next best thing, even if you are craving a long-term partnership. So how do you find that romance and make it endure? Dr. Lisa Portolan, a media commentator, podcaster, and academic, has conducted hundreds of interviews over many years asking what love looks like in the digital age.

She also shares real case studies throughout to illustrate all aspects of seeking, growing, and keeping love.
