Remember when Aziz Ansari reportedly got a $3.5 million advance for a book on modern relationships? We’re pretty sure that book is called Modern Romance and will be coming out June 16th.

Ansari mounted a year long investigation with a NYU sociologist, hundreds of interviews, focus groups, etc. in order to dissect what the quest for love in the 21st century is really like.

All of that research went into this book Modern Romance through Aziz’s lens and if it’s anything like the bits about love, dating, and relationships that he’s done recently, we think he might be onto something.

It doesn’t come out until the summer, but you can pre-order Modern Romance now.
