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

4.0

This book was like whiplash after reading Lori’s other book - Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. In the other book the reader is left hopeful that you can always change and “it’s not over til it’s over”. In this book she talks about dating after your 20s is bleak, you’re probably not very desirable, and could very likely end up alone and miserable. It was quite overwhelming. However I feel the book is still worth a listen. I do think it’s good to hear realistic love stories and to realize that we aren’t perfect either. To hear that maximizers need to focus on what is good about someone else instead of what they would change. To explain that marriage doesn’t have to be perfect to make a couple happy. Worth the listen. Just need to be prepared to listen with thick skin.
