Badly narrated

The narrator sounds computer generated and I found it really hard to keep my concentration on the book. There really wasn't anything that I've not read before about attraction theory but I was concerned by the authors suggestion that people needed magnetic attraction.

I stopped listening in the chapter that discussed people who found each other physically attractive, had the same values and interests but no immediate spark walk away. This isn't helpful in a book which is likely to be targeted toward co-dependants or those who have been in relationships with abusive or personality disorders partners and are trying to explore why their spark is only triggered by unavailable partners.

Repetitive and unhelpful

As a mental health academic, I didn't get anything helpful from this book. The reader wasn't interesting or engaging and I couldn't get through it all. There were very broad statements about narcissistic people and co-dependents that were too generalised and harsh. Narcissistic people are not always outgoing and charismatic. Narcissism can present as extreme selfishness and self-interest, with very little to no empathy for others in a relationship, and they are not always outgoing or even obviously charismatic. Narcissism is a disorder and presents in many different ways. In the same way, co-dependent people do not always have low self-esteem, and can be co-dependent while also being confident and outgoing in other areas. I feel that there are many misrepresentations in the theory itself, that will be a barrier to people who are just coming out of this type of relationship.
