- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved the way this book was written. It was easy to read and engaging through anecdotal stories. I suspect many stories were simplified/fabricated to illustrate the point but they were still helpful in terms of conceptualizing my own relationships and what was (or could) go wrong. I found myself finishing this book with a better understanding of myself and what I want, which to me is a big win.
