Thank you Netgalley for my free copy in exchange for a book review.

I enjoyed Are You Love Smart or Love Stupid by Rachel Sims. Although nothing in this book was groundbreaking for me (I have been reading self-help books for over a decade now), there were still good reminders and great tips to make your love life better. Great short book!

Beautiful. Poignant. Phenomenal.
This was a beautiful read and I learnt so much. I cried and I smiled and there was nothing more that I wanted from this book. Truly a gem.

This is probably targeted at and better for younger, millennial readers - I found a large amount of it was irrelevant to me, someone in their 40s, who is married. I did like the way it addressed still sadly prevalent relationship myths though.

Wise and realistic. Every man should read this too. We don't always learn from our mistakes, take ownership or apologize. I learned a great deal and hope to put it all into practice soon😊 (less)

This book made me realize a few things, and I really enjoyed it! It was very helpful, and full of good advice that I ended up writing down. Highly recommend!

This book is well-written and the author has a strong voice. However, I’ve read a lot of dating/relationship books and I didn’t think there was anything that set this one apart from all of the others. I didn’t learn anything new. It was also confusing in places. The author lists myths about dating. Some of the myths were really myths where the author went on to contradict the statement, but some of them were actually facts that the author would support with her argument. One example was “age isn’t important” and then she went on to discuss how age should not be a factor in relationships. If it’s going to be listed as a myth, then it should be “age is important” and then she can go on to debunk it. Reading the headline that said it was a myth led me to believe the opposite of what the author was trying to say. Same thing with “don’t broach serious topics too early”. It should say something like “broach serious topics right away” and then talk about why that is incorrect.
