Finding the Real Deal: 50 Simple Rules for a Genuine Connection
A Mixed Bag of Real Love in a World of Unreal Expectations
summarizeEditor's Summary
This book's got some great insights into finding real love, but it's not without its flaws. The author does a solid job of breaking down the psychology behind relationships, but some of the rules feel too basic and lack concrete examples. I liked the focus on psychology, though – it's super timely, especially when you consider how social media can create these unrealistic expectations and idealized relationships. It's a decent read, but not a game changer.
