For once, a nonfiction book was exactly what the title advertised. It is game-changing. In the vein of Fed Up but significantly more practical, it not only explains many of the dynamics of uneven domestic labor in heterosexual relationships, a solid half of the book is spent going over a well-tested solution. I tend to be skeptical of authors going "my way is the best (or the only) way to fix this" but honestly this seems plausible and I'm willing to give it a chance. It's designed for heterosexual couples with kids, but Eve claims it works just fine for childless and same-sex couples with only minor adjustments (and even though Eve never mentions it, it looks like it would only take minor adjustments to work for polyamorous people, as well). Even if the proposed system doesn't actually work for more evenly redistributing domestic labor, this book is worth reading for some really great insights into time and how even well-meaning men end up foisting most domestic labor onto their wives. Insightful, inspiring, and worth reading for anyone who does or plans to live with a romantic partner.
