Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic by Esther Perel
TomMcGreevy's review: "Perel examines the question of whether good sex can last after marriage.

Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig
TomMcGreevy's review: "Brilliant. Hopeful. Perceptive. Terse. Kind. A book that hugs. Everyone suffers differently.

Sleeping with Bad Boys: A Juicy Tell-All of Literary New York in the the 1950s and 1960s by Alice Denham

In short, discrimination and sexism was rampant. All those promising young men... exposed, for what they are. Well worth reading."
