Overall I found this book to be well written, informative and an educational read. Provided some new ideas and insights. Worth picking up if the subject matter affects you. I had the audiobook, which was clear and easy to listen to. Recommend.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the chance to listen to this audio book.

Helpful and clearly thoroughly researched. Will definitely be using some of the tips for myself!

I wanted to like this book. but there was just a disconnect for me. It was a personal thing. Its probably why it took me so long to write a review as well, I hate leaving low reviews.

This was an interesting listen. I enjoyed the narration.

There were some relationship styles I hadn’t thought about but they make sense. It gave me a lot to think about. This would be a good book for married couples and people looking to start over at older ages.

Not a typical self hep book and there is a lot of information within the text. The book provides the basis of several types of relationships and roughly the root of the issues that caused the evolution. The author has created an interesting insight into love and forming bonds in super fun and interesting ways. The book offers a unique blend of storytelling and in-depth research, providing fascinating insights into various relationship styles. The book is beneficial for anyone at any relationship stage, especially those entering new relationships, offering advice on understanding, and improving interpersonal connections. My thanks to NetGallley, the publisher and author. Although I believe this is better suited for a kindle or paperback versus the audio version which is unusual for me to choose.

This book is great for new couples who need to get on the same page and set ways of deepening their relationship together. It’s also great for couples who are needing a refresh. The strength of this book is that it helps the reader look for and celebrate what is right, instead of looking for what is wrong. Since we tend to replicate what we look at, so I see this book as helping couples strengthen what is right in their relationship, pushing out what is wrong. I found the correlations to the animal world, but found the addition of brain chemistry to be a nice touch.

I really liked the approach of this book with stating facts about the different relationship types, giving suggestions and ideas to spend quality time with your partner or friends, and then at the end of each chapter a little short story.
I learned a lot of things and I definitely could relate to the one or other aspects of the different relationship types, where I think it suits the relationship with my partner.
Also love love love the „date“ ideas!! Quality time with partner or friends is so so important!

I definitely recommend this book, not specifically to people that struggle in a relationship, but more for those that want to have some input on different approaches of how to „improve“ the relationships even more.
