girlfish 's review for:
Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough
by Lori Gottlieb
Yeah, all the other reviews are right. I think this is my lowest rated book ever? DNF at around 70%, which is really saying something because I typically always push through and finish something even if I’m disinterested. I read and enjoyed Maybe You Should Talk to Someone prior to this and was shocked at the difference between the two.
All the other reviews on this book make it clear but god— this is so depressing, poorly researched, and anti-feminist. I honestly stopped reading because I figured it’s actively harming my mental health and reinforcing my internalized cognitive distortions resulting from how women are socialized. My very feminist therapist would have a field day with this book.
It gets 2 stars over 1 because it did help me to have more gratitude for my relationship, but that in no way makes this book worth reading.
