According to the publisher, The Dating Game is a fun new book about dating - whether it sparked a lifelong love or a laugh with friends - that will give you a boost as you search for your soul mate; read about how couples met, good and bad dates, maintaining the relationship, second chances, the Internet, and all the other ups and downs of dating, love, and romance.

Hughes chronicle was selected from hundreds of submissions for this new compilation.
