About this listen

Forget online dating, matchmakers, and awkward setups. In this insightful essay, Jade Chang, author of The Wangs vs. the World, exposes the secrets behind the latest solution for finding love in the twenty-first century.

The new dating craze among the divorced, recently broken up with, and frustrated singles of Los Angeles starts with the creation of “the List.” The converted swear by it - just write down everything you want in a partner, and the cosmos will provide. But could such a simple, old-fashioned technique actually work? Enter Jade, who investigates this increasingly popular path to a soul mate, with charming and hilarious effects, tracing the history of list making - and learning about dating and love along the way.

The List is part of The Real Thing, a collection of moving, hilarious, and big-hearted essays on the modern realities of friendship, romance, commitment, and love. Each story can be listened to in a single sitting.

Interesting story. Don’t share may of the beliefs about lists but it was a good ‘read’...

Interesting.

I appreciate the authors research and different perspectives on this idea. I liked the humor and the well researched information. The end was also well received as I thought it was an interesting perspective on manifestation.

Not badly written, but it just didn’t do anything for me. There were a few interesting muses about love, but it didn’t really say much. It’s not witty or very thought provoking, but it isn’t terrible either. It’s the kind of thing that just doesn’t make an impact for people like me. It might do more for others

A little dull

Half the information in this book is useful. The other half is pointless and unrelatable stories.

Enjoyed the way she incorporated some metaphysical beliefs in the story without altering its flow.

The List!

It’s okay. If you’re looking for something to fall asleep to this is it. Short and simple

Meh

Author does a great job reading a cute story. No advice content, but will make you smile.

Reminded me why I moved out of Los Angeles and why I lament belonging to the millennial age group

Glad it’s only an hour long

Everyone who is looking for love, or who even cares about love, should read this essay. Actually, what I especially love about this essay is that not only does the author make you feel loved through her inviting style, which makes you feel like you’re sitting at a cafe with her (maybe in Paris, being brilliant and observant together), she also makes you feel like the glory of being alive is worth the cost of longing.

I love this essay!
