I really loved this book. It is an exploration of the concept of "love" - not only romantically, but what the definition of love really may be, how it is expressed in different kinds of relationships, what it means for different kinds of people, and how it affects us when its withheld. This book had an interesting and informative exploration of gender, particularly masculinity, and childhood trauma, and the ways in which we can and should be loving in our everyday lives, and I found it informative and relatable on multiple accounts. While I would advise to be a bit open-minded when reading given that it was published in 1999, over 20 years ago, and may have some out-dated ideas or generalizations, I think it is relevant for the modern reader. This is the kind of book I think we all could learn from.
