I found this book insightful and it helped me to reflect on the way I behave in my own relationship. It encourages you to have empathy for your partner and consider your own role in conflict. I found some parts really funny and relatable.
It was definitely one kind of relationship and was also a very heteronormative perspective. But I think most people could draw some meaning from the lessons taught.

This book is essentially a case study/psychological profile of a relationship. It ultimately focuses more on the man in the relationship, so there were times that it felt kind of blame-y. It does seem that a lot of the ‘advice’ is easier said than done. But it definitely gave me some things to think about when it comes to relationships.
