3/5
I picked out this book because the title sounded interesting. This book explains why people stay in relationships that are abusive, manipulative, and downright toxic. I've personally been hurt in a relationship and it was incredibly difficult to move past it even when I hated him with all the fury of a woman scorned. The book was interesting in places where it compared these toxic relationships to addictions. I loved hearing all the personal stories about people who made these betrayal bonds in real life. In other places, this book was downright dull. My least favorite part of the book were the exercises the author wanted the readers to complete. This book is supposed to be read while undergoing therapy for the betrayal bonds. It is clearly a self-help book, which brings down its appeal to anyone fascinated by the concept but not attempting to get out of a betrayal bond at the moment.
