I disagree with reviewers who have written that this book targets anxious types. Reading the book helped me realize I generally form secure attachments, but more than that, it helped me to better understand both anxious and avoidant exes/former lovers, and to empathize with them. Very valuable read.

beautiful

unexpected, painful, and at moments dark but in ways that have been deeply comforting for me as i process my own grief over the loss of a very close friend (and surrogate mom) this year. i summed it up to a friend as: death, dogs, and writing. 10/10 would recommend.
