In the world of dating with swipes and double taps, your soulmate might be the one you accidentally swiped left on, or you might have a thousand matches but no connection. This book offers the elder sister advice that most of us never got. MeChelle Paterek talks about everything from finance and career to sex and self-esteem. This book serves as the modern independent woman’s guide to taking charge and raising the dating bar.

With ten empowering and informative chapters the author provides actionable ideas and advice that one can easily implement in their life. The author covers many topics in this book that empowers women and builds their self esteem. Topics such as taking care of oneself, different male personalities, being financially independent, being confident, and many more topics.

The author’s writing comes off as conversational, like talking to a girlfriend or even a life coach. I found myself agreeing with many of the topics in this book as I was reading. MeChelle’s personality really comes through in her writing and you feel her rooting for all of the women out there who are struggling when it comes to dating or even struggling to find who they really are. I enjoyed reading about the author’s experiences she faced when she dated and I feel like she truly understands what her readers are going through. I also enjoyed the fact that the author doesn’t just sit back and feel sorry for herself, nor does she allow her readers to feel this way. I feel this is one book that you can read at any stage of your life, whether you are single or married. This is one book you can revisit to self reflect and use to work on certain things you are not happy with.

Date Up, Not Down is a charming, witty, no filter read that will have you hooked from the turn of the first page. I highly recommend this book to women who are looking to improve themselves.
