What a wonderful beautiful book! I am totally impressed with all of the information and suggestions given in the book. Incredibly helpful and I recommend it highly!

This was a hard book to read, and a more difficult book to review. I often pick up nonfiction reads on various subjects because they interest me and, after reading Still Alice last year, I was eager to follow it up with this.

Still Alice is actually referenced in one of the chapter quotes but, honestly, this book was dry as hell. Whether it was the subject matter or the way it was written, I found this book incredibly difficult. There's no doubt that it was well researched, and much of it was founded on the 5 Love Languages, as the subtitle for the book dictates.

Where it finally lost me was that, right at the end of the book, there was an entire passage just of quotes from a test group who had been part of a study as this book was being written. The writer even comments that much of what they quoted were things they already knew, so I failed to see the point in including this for an entire chapter. It meant that what had already been a dry read ended on a note that was just repetitive.
