40 DAYS 0F DATING
Two good friends with opposite relationship problems found themselves single at the same time. Jessica Walsh is a self-described hopeless romantic, and Timothy Goodman is an admitted commitment-phobe. It’s been said that it takes 40 days to change a bad habit. As an experiment, Tim & Jessica decided to date for 40 days in attempt to overcome their issues around relationships. They kept separate journal entries of each date and posted their individual perspective of the events online via daily blog posts. What followed was something neither of them could have imagined: 5 million readers of the blog, immense media attention, and selling the film rights to their story to Warner Bros. This book includes a more in-depth and extended look at their experience, their lives before the experiment, and what’s happened since. The book also explores the themes of love & relationships from various angles, including: love stories and interviews from their friends and family, perforated postcards with artwork, a timeline of the history of dating, a dating guide to New York City, and much more. We hope you enjoy. 1
