After witnessing friends, family members, and countless others destroyed by affairs that began with “innocent” direct messages, she realized something had to change. So, she did what any concerned person would do: she started researching.

Amazon Review

“Love in the Times of Likes” is written for individuals and couples navigating relationships in a world where technology is always present. Phones, social media, and constant notifications shape how people connect, communicate, and sometimes drift apart. This book is for partners who want to strengthen their bond and be intentional about how their digital habits impact trust and intimacy. It also supports those healing after betrayal, whether the breach happened online, offline, or both. Hidden messages, emotional affairs, and secrecy around devices can deeply damage trust. This book offers a clear, practical path toward rebuilding safety, accountability, and emotional security without ignoring the realities of modern technology. In addition, it serves as a resource for therapists, clergy, mentors, and helping professionals who guide others through relational challenges in the digital age. At its core, the book holds a steady conviction: lasting love is still possible. When partners practice honesty, establish healthy digital boundaries, and intentionally nurture their connection on and off the screen, they can build relationships that are resilient, grounded, and deeply alive.

I keep this book close. After long, overstimulating days, I’ll open to any chapter and immediately feel more centered. Lynne Walton Coles has a gift for turning everyday digital habits—likes, messages, endless notifications—into eye-opening reflections on love, boundaries, and identity. It’s not alarmist or preachy, just deeply real. Reading it feels like someone gently reminding you that real connection still matters—offline and online.

Look, I don’t usually think twice about social media. But this book hit harder than expected. Love in the Times of Likes doesn’t shame or lecture—it exposes how DMs, validation, and constant scrolling quietly reshape our relationships and self-worth. The real-life scenarios felt uncomfortably familiar, and the insights landed like an honest conversation with someone who’s been there. I walked away more aware, more grounded, and definitely rethinking how much power I give my phone.
