From personal ads to ghosting, this edited volume of empirical and review articles from communication experts throughout the U.S. provides insight into the changes in romantic communication that have occurred over the last decade, as technology has become a ubiquitous medium for social interaction. This is a great resource for any student or scholar who wants a cohesive and current overview of the ways in which technology is affecting how we communicate with romantic partners.

Michelle Drouin, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne
Understanding the ways in which social media have changed the ways that we initiate, maintain, and terminate relationships is an essential part of contemporary interpersonal communication courses. Instructors will find this text to be an essential addition to their assigned readings as it encourages critical thinking and personal reflection in exploring how relationships have been influenced by social media. Students will absolutely connect with the content and engage in class discussions as they make connections between classical theories of communication in contemporary relationships. Perfect as a stand-alone text for a special topics class or as a supplement to interpersonal courses!
