I borrowed this book from a friend of mine after a dreadful relationship. I admitt that I have read previous works by Mrs. Williamson but ... I felt this book was lacking. There are common sense references in this book that should have been left out. This seems to be the work of a very skilled authour but a subject to which all that have experienced a true embrace or brief encounter with love should have been able to compose. I have the disturbing vision of a woman in a new relationship sitting at her desk referencing all her past relationships and finding some level of inspiration yet not able to grasp completely onto the point. What was the point? Love is harder to tame or find at times than a jewel only known through legend. I felt that her literary talents were not shown to its potential.
