A guide through the ups and downs of teen love, intimacy, and coming of age in a social media–infused world.

Navigating dating as a teen is tough. My Real-Life Rom-Com tells it like it is. Written by twenty-year-old TikTok star and journalist Carrie Berk, this book is a resource you can turn to for any and all questions and concerns about coming-of-age love and heartbreak. Carrie shares her dating adventures (and misadventures) to help you discover more about yourself and the relationship you deserve.

How do you meet someone in a post-pandemic world? Are dating apps a good idea? When do you know if you’re really ready for sex? My Real-Life Rom-Com is filled with helpful information on everything from first kisses to devastating breakups. What if you develop a crush on your best friend’s ex? Or you’re catching feelings for an older guy? Carrie has been there, done that.

This book is packed with humor and advice that takes the edge off uncomfortable conversations. Prepare to laugh at dozens of dating disasters experienced during middle and high school. Like the date who had a fly stuck in his tooth. Or the guy who had his mommy send a breakup text.

Through Carrie’s unflinchingly honest stories, you’ll learn how to get over your first breakup; understand the art of the “situationship;” make smart, not impulsive decisions; and ultimately love yourself before loving someone else.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“She beautifully captures the bravado and uncertainty involved in online bantering and the often jarring IRL meetups that follow. Some of Berk’s “hookup” anecdotes are quite amusing (such as her dealing with a chin-biter in “The Vampire”), but she also offers a wealth of serious insights and guidance worth heeding. An entertaining and enlightening account of coming of age as a Gen Z digital native.” -- Kirkus Review

“Carrie poured her heart and soul into her solo debut book, with a fresh, vulnerable take on the trials and tribulations of finding love that everyone can relate to.” -- Ariel “Baby Ariel” Martin, TikTok Star (36.2M followers)

“The struggles, success stories, and advice surrounding dating are often told from an adult’s perspective. However, as a teen, it’s comfortable and relatable to read advice and hear stories from a teen’s perspective. I’m even more thrilled to have it come from Carrie’s perspective. She is such a talented writer whom I have read for years.” -- Jenna Davis, Raven’s Home on Disney Channel

“Carrie is an unbelievable writer. Her skills are unmatched. A teen book is much-needed, especially right now. Every teen experience is different, and people can learn from Carrie’s mistakes and successes.” -- McKenzi Brooke, TikTok Star (16.5M followers)

“Anyone who knows Carrie can tell how sweet and sensitive she is. It’s easy to see why she would have the best advice. Carrie is one of the kindest, caring, and loyal people you’ll meet! She’s a people person, and I trust any advice she gives me on relationships.” -- Sophia Gennusa, Tony Award Winner for Matilda

“Carrie’s writing is always so relatable. She’s seen it all, and what she writes about holds true to so many people. She is a very talented young woman, and I can’t wait to read the book!” -- Sway Bhatia, Succession, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for teens and young women
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
    Even though I am not the target demographic for this book, I enjoyed it! The beginning of the book can be hard to relate to if you didn’t grow up in an affluent household but once you get past that, it feels like you are having a girl chat with your bff. This book had a good balance of humor and advice, and I admired Carrie’s honesty. As Carrie describes her dating adventures, so many women could relate to her experiences as they navigate the world of dating. There were some really good messages and advice throughout the book, and I liked the reinforcement of making smart decisions when dating. I really enjoyed the way the book wrapped up, and the overall message. I would recommend this book for older teens and young adults. This would make a great gift!

    Favorite quote: “self-love was the key to loving someone else.”

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Cute Read!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023
    My Real-Life RomCom is a nonfiction memoir from social media influencer Carrie Berk that discusses romance, intimacy and her past relationships in the world of social media.

    This was a fun nonfiction read. Carrie presented her previous relationships in a way that was engaging and insightful, with each chapter being dedicated to a different “lesson” or piece of advice. While this book mainly addresses straight relationships between a male and female partner as it’s a reflection of the author’s personal relationships, I would have liked to have seen more gender neutrality or inclusion of LGTBQIA+ identities in this book, particularly in the areas where relationship advice is being given as the partners were always referred to as “he/him”.

    Overall this was a three star read for me. A fun and engaging nonfiction read. As this is a nonfiction book, no rating will be given for spice

    If you’re a fan of memoirs that discuss relationships, romance and the perils of social media, then absolutely pick this one up!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced, fun, and refreshingly honest dating guide
    Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023
    “My Real-Life Rom-Com” is a fast-paced and fun guide to dating. This book is full of humor and advice that make uncomfortable conversations a little easier. In addition to Carrie’s dating stories, she also shares tips on dating lingo, when to “swipe left,” date night ideas, and so much more. Although I’m married now, I can relate to many of Carrie’s dating disasters as a teen. In today’s social media-infused world, we typically only see the “highlight reel,” where everyone shares their best moments. Carrie’s openness and honesty were refreshing and very much appreciated.
