OH, THE DUDES THAT YOU'LL DATE!
Maiana Rose’s second adult picture book, Oh, The Dudes That You’ll Date, follows the same lighthearted, comedic take on Dr. Seuss’s rhymes as her debut, Oh, The Pics That You’ll Post!. This installment dives into modern dating from the perspective of a woman navigating the challenges of today’s dating culture—especially through apps.
The book explores the journey of putting oneself out there, encountering red flags, and facing the highs and lows of finding a partner. At its core, the story delivers an empowering message: you must know your own worth before diving into the dating world.

Oh, The Pics that You’ll Post! puts a millennial spin on the Dr. Seuss classic Oh, The Places You’ll Go!, paying homage to the classic book while satirizing the extent to which one must go today in order to achieve the #goal of becoming an influencer.
Oh, the Pics That You’ll Post! will strike a chord for anyone who has dabbled in social media, from those just starting, to the gram-vets and even for those who have made it to insta-stardom and are out there living their #bestlife. It offers a nice break from the daily scroll and is both comic relief and a light cautionary tale about what might happen if one’s life is centered around Instagram. And believe Maiana Rose, there are things that can go wrong, such as maxing out credit cards, a plummeting self-esteem, and missing out on Amore in Rome. Oh, The Pics That You’ll Post! is a metaphorical journey of becoming an influencer with a message that younger generations are sorely in need of: put the phone down and live life. It does not denounce Instagram or steer readers away from using such apps, however, it is meant to be a fun relatable way to laugh at our own obsession with it and raise awareness of the usage of social media.
“It’s Hilarious and too damn true!” – Emmanuelle Chirici, (Actress and Influencer)
“Part Satire, part cautionary-tale, Oh, the Places You’ll Post” is the smart, funny picture book I would love to be able to buy my pre-tween and all her friends – before they get their first phones.” -Nicola Kraus, #1 bestselling co-author of The nanny Diaries
“The book has a wonderful, cosmopolitan vibe, would do well in LA, NYC, or Paris!” – Wendi Schuller (Author of Global Guide to Divorce)
“Mariana captures, a certain and very common Los Angeles prototype with humor and honesty, A quick, delightful, and entertaining must-read for anyone who is trying to “make it” in LA – or anyone who uses Instagram – or anyone who needs a dose of fun. I think that anyone can, much to their dismay, identify with the characters in Oh, The Pics That You’ll Post!” -Alexandra Malmed (writer for Vogue, Manrepeller, etc.)
