No Ordinary Love

An anthology of real Hinge love stories almost never told. Written from the perspective of each partner by Upasna Barath, Hunter Harris, William Rayfet Hunter, Tomasz Jedrowski, and Jen Winston.

I always say love in real life is way messier than they show in the movies — from imperfect beginnings to surprise pairings. I loved the first round of stories so I’m excited to see Hinge bring their No Ordinary Love series to Substack.
