October Jones – Texts from Dog
Texts from Dog does exactly what it says on the tin – it presents the reader with a collection of text messages between a man and man’s best friend. They’re mocked up as if they’re screenshots from an iPhone, and they’re pretty funny – they made me laugh out loud a couple of times.
Jones actually does a great job of building up a picture of his dog’s personality, and while it’s not really necessary for the book to work, it’s a nice little bonus. It’s also a quick read, and overall I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying it. A novelty, but fun.

This book is basically just a collection of awkward stories from Tinder which are presented in the form of a series of screenshots under different categories. Because of that, it’s okay, but it also starts to get a little bit boring after a while, even though it doesn’t take long to read it.
It reminded me in a way of Bobs and Vagene by Cam C. Wolfe, which does the same thing but with thirsty comments on Instagram. Bobs and Vagene was a little better, but both are worth a read if only for the chuckle you’ll get.
At the same time though, it’s also pretty depressing and a bleak reflection of the society that we live in. If you’ve ever used Tinder or other dating apps, you won’t be surprised at how ridiculous some of the messages are.
