All About Love: New Visions is a book by bell hooks published in 2000 that discusses aspects of love in modern society. Hooks combines personal anecdotes as well as psychological and philosophical ideas to develop and strengthen her argument. She focuses on romantic love and believes that in American culture men have been socialized to mistrust the value and power of love while women have been socialized to be loving in most situations – even when their need to receive love goes unmet.

3 stars

really good tbh. reading this was nice because I liked the ideas and it inspired personal reflection. hit or miss sometimes. I may not be the best audience for this.

only 3 stars because I wasnt hooked enough for reading it not to feel like a chore :(( would love if the people in my life read this, but wouldn't beg them to
