I provide a lot of relationship advice, and have read a lot of relationship books. This is a good book, and one that I'd recommend. If you need motivation in your relationship to try differently, or new strategies, this is one I recommend to you.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

At the time I requested the book, I was needing some advice in my own relationship and thought it could be helpful. I found the book insightful and easy to read which was good. Although it seems like a repeat of other books but told in the authors words I did find the topics helpful and relevant.

I requested and received an Advanced Readers Copy from the publisher and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.

How To Be In an Adult in Relationships missed the mark in a lot of ways for me. In other ways, I took away some valuable information.
I have to start by saying that the title was a little off putting to me. It seemed somewhat condescending. As if to say, if a person doesn’t act a specific way in the relationship, he or she is being childish, and this book teaches us how to be adults. However, as someone who is in a long term relationship I was hoping to take away something from this.
I have read other relationship books before and this one was basically just a repeat of other books I have read, just in the author’s own words. It did have some good point and reminders that sometimes go by the wayside. But it also had some points I found very selfish and would not be the advice I would want to be offered to myself or my husband. For me, this book was just ok. I do believe there are much better relationship counseling books out there that would be more beneficial.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is insightful and easy to read through. I found the topics helpful and relevant. I would recommend this to fans of the Gottmans' work.
