Beyond the Breakup: Understanding Your Ex-Boyfriend from The Male Perspective by Andrew AitkenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Here are some reasons not to read this book:
* It makes a lot of broad generalizations about gender. If you are allergic to that this is not the book for you. If you are relatively gender nonconforming, said generalizations will likely not apply and so this is probably not the book for you. In particular, if you are not a straight, monogamous woman looking for a committed relationship this is probably not the book for you.
* It contains very little in the way of scientific evidence. If you don’t want to read one random guy’s thoughts on relationships and absorb them through the epistemic filter that that implies, this is probably not the book for you.
All that said, I found myself nodding furiously and highlighting lots of passages, so you know, take from that what you will.
