I felt I connected better to the second half of the book, where she begins to describe different types of relationships. This book is not a roadmap to love but more of a in depth discussion of the ways women love. It made me realize a lot of things I need to personally work on to help enrich the love in my life. It also gave a lot of book suggestions that I am seeking out after I finished

Moments of brilliance but also a lot of really broad-brush statements about men and women in general. Additionally lots of “all heterosexual relationships…” are x y or z. I feel like hooks veered off topic quite a bit through each chapter in a frustrating way because all about love was an incredible piece of writing that, to me, fundamentally changed the way I looked at the world, while this book felt very dated and rambling. Worth the read, I think, just not as good as I was hoping for.

like she read my journal and expanded on the concepts using personal and historical context. Reality expanding read. Must read for women of all ages me thinks
