"It seems as though every week there's a new app available on your smartphone promising dates aplenty--just swipe right. A mate, on the other hand, is becoming harder and harder to find. The age-old quest for true love requires more effort than ever before. Let s face it: dating is work. Which, as it happens, is exactly where it began, in the nineteenth century--as prostitution.

This isn't a guide to "getting the guy"; there are no ridiculous rules to follow in Labor of Love. This is a brilliant, fresh, and utterly original approach to help us understand how dating was invented and, hopefully, to lead us closer to the happy ending that it promises"--Provided by publisher.
