Recommended by a friend as we talked about how “Attached” the book made both of us avoidant people felt like shit.

Practical advice and analysis. Made sense even to me, a single person who’s never been in a relationship.

This doesn’t go into special cases like people with trauma or depression, but for general cis cases, it’s applicable. This includes good pointers that you can apply and adjust as you see fit I think.

It doesn’t talk about anything about finding the right person though, only how to work with whoever you’re with, even if they might be the worst person for you. However, my friend pointed out that as long as both people are earnest in their effort to work on the relationship, they might just be right for each other.
