Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb

1.0

I can definitely see why the author isn't married. And not because of what you may think, but because this entire book shows how scarcity mindset drives people to anxiety and irrationality. This reads like a book meant to scare people, because clearly the author is projecting all of her fears. I read this after reading "You Should Really Talk to Someone," her other book, and I'm so glad she made it into therapy. Writing about love and marriage like this simmers it down so much that it only focuses on perceived market value. Not personality, not genuine enjoyment of another person, but material and physical attributes. It was very white feminist. Overall, I think me and Gottlieb simply have very different values, which is why I can't agree with what she writes here.
