slow-paced

I loved Out of Love, by the same author, which is what made me pick up Better by Far. It's still a good book (I highlighted so many passages!), but Out of Love impacted me much much more. I also felt like this one was a somewhat experimental book, not really sure of what it was trying to be or trying to be many things.

Still enjoyed it a lot, Hazel Hayes has a lot of very real and poignant and not obvious things to say on love and relationships.
