I Didn’t Know I Needed This: The New Rules for Flirting, Feeling, and Finding Yourself

Rallo, host of the Miss Congeniality podcast, debuts with a dating guide for today’s world. Not only is the author funny and realistic, she writes in a tone that engagingly inspires trust. Although she is a TikTok influencer, she doesn’t draw on her internet celebrity for clout. Instead, she endearingly relates her own romantic exploits without getting too explicit. This book offers practical and valuable advice and guidelines for all relationship stages. Rallo stresses the importance of listening to and trusting oneself, how invaluable friendships are for helping one navigate romance, and acknowledging that while everyone makes mistakes, it’s possible to move on. Think of Rallo as a Carrie Bradshaw for the internet-dating age, and her book as a much-needed update on He’s Just Not That Into You that factors in modern dating mores. While aimed at readers in their 20s, it’s equally relatable for those who are older.
