Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book.

In "In Defense of Love: An Argument", Ron Rosenbaum explores love. He lays out how love has become a dangerous thing when it is identified with quantifiers and data. Rosenbaum discusses why we are so opposed to making the concept of love a quantifiable thing and how we can remove this aspect of it from social conversation.

I won't beat around the bush about my opinions of this book. I hated it. It was so incredibly boring and made absolutely no sense to me. I wouldn't consider myself dumb or necessarily cynical about love, and that's not why I hated this book. It seemed like this book was trying to pose as something intelligent when in reality, it was slightly pretentious.

It felt as if one was trying to ascertain the point of a conversation with someone that was rambling on and on and on. It went in a million different directions with numerous details that I didn't need nor did I really care about and didn't really have anything to do with the concept of love. I wish I could have gotten the time back that I spent reading this book to read something of a little more pleasure.
