📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:
#NinetyFourthBookOf2024
Let's start with this question from Helly's reading group question: If Oxytoxin existed, would you take it? NO! BIG NO. Our feelings are not illnesses.
The Couple was one of those books that made me think a lot after I finished reading it, and, P.S., it's more of a dystopia than a romance. This book turns the table around on relationships and singlehood. Have you ever thought about what will happen if couples are shamed? It is a very weird concept, like when you tell someone you are in a 'couple' and they will begin asking you questions about your wellbeing and stuff like that.
But even as uncomfortable as this book made me feel, I saw and understood what Helly was trying to portray: a parallel world, a world that is quite the opposite of ours.
And with this illustrated parallel world, you'll begin to understand that: 1. You can't shame people for their choices. 2. You can't pity people because of their relationship status. 3. You can be in a relationship and live your best life. You can also be single and live your best life. I can go on and on about the lessons I took from this book.
Don't allow anybody to shame you for being single!!
📖RATINGS: 3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐
📖QUOTES:
□We are the product of our own choices,and the architects of our lives.
□We should all care less about how others live their lives and focus on what makes us feel fulfilled.
