Why I recommend it
hooks asks what it means to practice love in our families, friendships, and communities. She gives us a way to look at whether our actions match what we say we value.
What stayed with me
Love involves care, respect, responsibility, and trust. In hooks’s definition, abuse has no place in it.
Who it’s useful for
Anyone thinking about how they love and how they want to be loved.
A tension or limitation
The book mixes personal experience, spirituality, and social criticism. Some parts will speak to you more than others.
