Annie Lord has a better diagnosis of the dating apps than the apps do
A breakup memoir turned Vogue column made Annie Lord the writer young readers actually trust on love. Her debut novel lands at the moment the apps she critiques are rebranding the very problem she named.

How Monexus framed this: we treated the book launch as a media-industry story, not a celebrity profile. The dating apps are infrastructure as well as a private goods; Lord's column is interesting mainly because it is the rare piece of English-language commentary on them that is not produced inside the same funnels the apps pay to fill.
