kpro4 's review for:
Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make and Keep Friends
by Marisa G. Franco
Normally when I read a self help book like this I am all for the studies and peer-backed research… but I felt like in this book it really just bogged it down. Maybe it was how much she included? The studies plus the anecdotes plus all the breaking down into bite-sized information pieces made it a really slow read.
I did not care for the idea that you should assume people like you. It felt disingenuous and I feel like I’d lose a lot of peace and happiness trying to make those relationships thrive when they just might not. And that’s ok!
Some interesting takeaways, and I did love that she ended each chapter with the most important takeaways, but unfortunately nothing groundbreaking.
