Mara

I did not enter into this book looking for vampire smut, but that's what I found, and I am never not delighted to find vampire smut (even if it's relatively light smut). Always find it funny when the characters Richard and Kahlan it through a book.

This was a dumb book, in a fun sort of way. Smooth brain entertainment for sure.

A story that took on complexity I did not expect at the start.

I am not sure there was entire book here. It's funny and at times makes real points, but could have been 1-2 chapters in a larger book about the nature of work, perhaps, or an article maybe.

It's interesting to see all of this information laid out, but I'm not sure Perel is making terribly new observations (to me, I'm sure that varies person to person). She spends a lot of time turning over each point she's making, sometimes enough that it feels a little tedious.
