“Amy Webb found her true love after a search that's both charmingly
romantic and relentlessly data-driven. Anyone who uses online
dating sites must read her funny, fascinating book.”—Gretchen

“Data: A Love Story has me reassessing my sad single years, or at
least my approach to them. The book is about pragmatic approaches
to partnership, the freedom that comes from asking for what you
want, and the clarity that follows honest assessments of oneself
and others. (And it's brave, funny, and smart to boot.) – Anna
Holmes, founder of Jezebel.com and editor of Hell Hath No
Fury: Women's Letters from the End of the Affair.
“A hilarious, fascinating, meticulous, brutally honest, totally
engrossing and utterly delightful book. Webb's color-coded and
cross-indexed tale of her quest for exactly what she
unapologetically wanted will make you look at data differently -
and use it much, much better. — Rachel Sklar, co-founder of
TheLi.st and Change The Ratio.
“I LOVE THIS BOOK TO DEATH! Amy Webb has literally written the book
on online dating. This is online dating for geeks - for women - for
men - for anyone who would like to meet their soulmate or just a
playmate, and despairs of ever doing so.”—Cindy Gallop, founder of
ifwerantheworld.com
“Data, A Love Story is blunt, witty, charming, informative, smart,
and true. It’s Mr. Spock meets Mary Tyler Moore, as logical Amy
turns her life into an algorithm and finds the formula for love. Is
this the future of romance? Buy this book and find out.” – Jeff
Jarvis, author of Public Parts: How Sharing in the Digital Age
Improves the Way We Work and Live and What Would Google Do?
