Overall, not a bad breakdown of the brain chemistry that composes human relationships and emotional bonds. As a reader though, this was SO incredibly dry at points. There's so much focus on animal behaviors and studies conducted on animals just for most of the reviewed studies to be appended with "well we don't know for sure how this translates to humans" which was frustrating.
I enjoyed the chapters about addiction and infidelities though as those focused primarily on human studies and behaviors with actual case studies that I could easily follow.
A fair warning as well - some of the language is outdated for their research. The research is relatively progressive for 2011, but the use of "transsexual" for transgender folks threw me off several times.
