elburton1 's review for:
Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough
by Lori Gottlieb
I found this read on Audible after reading her hit “Maybe You Should Talk to Someone” and thought it was a follow up, naturally having high expectations because I loved that book. As I listened and began questioning things, I started doing some research & then realized it’s been around for over 10 years. I think what is meant to be a gentle kick in the butt to challenge superficial reasons not to date someone, is more like a slap in the face that makes you feel like being a 30 something yo woman is a relational death sentence. It’s really hard to like this book because it stirred up so much fear in me and then in some ways I loved it as it was discussing such relevant content for me. Overall, I think she could have done a much better job balancing the wisdom she gained without producing so much fear and anxiety in readers and “shoulding” and “shaming” left and right. It was painful, but somehow I finished.
