review:
This book proved to be a lot different from what I expected. I wanted a book that argued against relationships. However her argument was a lot more complicated and quite nuanced. I thought her analysis of how we use the same language to tackle relationships that we use when we are talking about paid labor. And that questioning marriage is a way of eroding capitalism.

This is the first book that I have read after reading about it on goodreads. It was really helpful in changing my mood and working through all the grudges I hold. I feel like most people I know could get something out of reading this book. I've been recommending it to tons of people lately.
