We all need a little reminder of the worth of our relationships—that they are worth putting hard work into. Solomon encourages readers with a short tip to read each day of the year about love, connection, and relationships. These tips cover a range of love: loving yourself, loving your family, and loving your partner.
Solomon shares some of her personal experiences as well as practical examples from what she’s seen in her practice as a clinical psychologist, and I found the examples to be the most interesting parts. Most of the examples are much shorter than I would have expected; Solomon points out the little things we tell ourselves and each other that make big differences.
Solomon is clear that these daily tips are not only for heterosexual couples and most of the examples are given without pronouns. Note that uses of “eff” and “effing” are not uncommon. The mature content rating is for mentions of alcohol, drugs, and pornography; implied masturbation; and for discussions of sex, orgasm, foreplay, and genitalia. The violence rating is for brief discussions of abusive relationships, including sexual abuse.
