The book covers a range of themes to explore the multifaceted dimensions of relationships, from the evolution of attraction and love to the intricacies of attachment and complexities of jealousy.

Industry Reviews

This is a highly regarded text that covers complicated research in an accessible and thoughtful way. The order of the chapters is intuitive, building topically and conceptually as the book progresses. The structure of the book is designed with student learning in mind. The quotes at the beginning are a nice introduction bookended with summaries and key terms at the end to help recap the contents - Leah Bryant, Associate Professor, De Paul University, USA.
