I expected this to be kind of mid but it actually eats. Like she has good and nuanced takes and this book expresses them pretty well and concisely. I especially like her takes on cheating and open relationships, I think the way that she describes the huge pull of wanting other people is really accurate and not something that people generally talk about, and I also loved how she still leaves room for the fact that this thing that might not seem hugely consequential to you and would take a lot of will power to resist could hurt your partner a lot (or not! I guess I will figure out eventually). I think it also rings true that commitment is so much about the will not to get divorced and appropriately elevates that in comparison to wanting the same things, and being inherently compatible.
Could have soooo easily been cheesy and cliche but I thought it was not.
Some chapters were not novel
