This text was assigned for my Psychology of Interpersonal Relations class. The book is written well and breaks down ideas and concepts in a way that makes them easy to understand. My only complaint is the section on Sexuality where the authors describe 'logical ways to avoid rape' The piece promotes rape culture and victim-blaming. Overall, it was easy to read and understand, the lay-out was good, and I learned quite a bit.
