Wow Review, indeed!!! Your microscopic examination of Blassingame’s book left me with just one thing to do: buy it. “Is emotional fluency another form of moral superiority?” is one of two intriguing thoughts. The other: we may be blind to systems that cause loneliness.
Thank you for reading and for the compliment. I think by nature (most) men are emotionally fluent, they are taught to be such, and with age they learn to weaponize it, which then makes it a form of moral superiority. I also think creating an educated, emotionally fluent female protagonist is genius because assuming its limited to men is a parochial view.

I can see that.
Wonderful review! You broke it down. I agree that it is not about romance, but about everything else.
Thank you, and OMG isn't it about so much more than romance and intimacy!
