The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity by Esther Perel

4.0

---

Intriguing perspective on the equity of gender roles in infidelity. I guess I never thought about what compels someone to cheat on their lover and the book reveals multiple psychological factors on the question of why, which were quite fun to ponder on. Esther is excellent at storytelling- nonfiction sometimes leaves me with only a few takeaways and not an interconnected set of messages so it was refreshing to read this book and experience the latter. All the anecdotes and cases were very amusing.
