i will keep this book and re-read again when i have a relationship again someday. this book gives me a picture of how Romanticism is unhelpful to relationships. this gives me healthy thoughts of the real relatinships.

Short & succinct essays about romantic relationships in the modern day. One of the experimental ideas I took away from this collection is the concept of alternative relationships that don't  involve domesticity & cohabitation. This mode of relating has been reframed as a kind & generous act of love towards our beloved, a liberation from the minute, day-to-day suffering.

This might be the most well-written book I’ve ever read. It’s not unnecessarily wordy, but rather goes straight to the point while still providing examples vivid enough to drive the point home.

I feel I now have the vocabulary to talk about concepts that I couldn’t before — at least not well enough. It’s been interesting reading about a different perspective and discovering that some of my beliefs and values might not be mine at all, but are heavily influenced by the dominant culture of our time.

It's great, highly recommended. I only wish I had read this a long time ago when I was younger. Not saying it's too late now, just saying it would have helped me immensely knowing this kind of stuff earlier.

I learnt a lot in this quick read. A lot of my perspectives about self, love and relationships were challenged - in a good way. I carried out many exercises in my bid too better understand myself and my relationship. Definitely a recommend from me for anyone in a relationship.
