my thoughts: this book is for neurotypical, cis, straight people and not really for many others which is fine bc thats a lot of people but a lot of the language used just doesnt work for me. first the authors say: your partner isnt trying to make you feel bad! all attachment styles are valid. then they say actually anxious are trying to make you feel bad with protest behavior and avoidants are kind of shitty people who will never change. in fact, the only reliably healthy relationship is with a secure person whos willing to put up with if you yell at them! and dont forget its all bc they love you. like some of this was straight up like not condemning clearly abusive behavior? which was so confusing to me and also just like not a slay. the actual science and research portion was great, the self help part (didnt realize how self help this would be) not so much. inspiring for people whove had long series of failed relationships, parts interesting for ppl interested in psych, not much for anyone with any semblance of abnormal psych or dealing with abuse or having dealt with abuse in the past.

For attachment beginners. Also pretty sure it equated an abusive relationship as an ‘anxious-avoidant’ dynamic. That’s a no from me

An interesting, logical way to view romantic relationships. Probably could use an updated edition to account for shifting patterns and more inclusivity.
