summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm really glad I picked up this book - it's a great value for money at around 15 bucks for a 256-page book. What I love about it is that it's written in an approachable format, with lots of everyday examples and quizzes to help you understand the concepts better. The authors focus on the connection between partners, which is all about attachment and how it changes when we interact with someone new. The book's still super relevant, even with the changing trends in relationships. I found it really helpful in understanding why some relationships work out while others don't.
