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.
Moderate: Misogyny and Domestic abuse
Minor: Sexual assault
