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.
