Read this book because I was interested in challenging some commonly held worldviews. It was interesting to learn about such an alternative lifestyle and I definitely learnt a thing or two.

A lot of this book discusses how to behave ethically either in friendships or more serious relationships and there is actually a solid amount of good relationship advice - particularly pertaining to communication, respect, consent and asking for what you want. For me personally however the writing style was a little grating at times and the last third of the book increasingly become less and less relevant (and interesting) for me. This book is also much more applicable to a female perspective than a man's, and even though they use a lot of gender-neutral language, the overall style is geared towards a female reader (general language, use of examples, stories, etc.).

2-stars. It was alright. Some good parts in it.
