Circle Time: A Book Club Podcast
Circle Time is a space where we share pieces of what we’re reading to scratch our English-class itch and get some personalized, in-depth recommendations from each other. We hope that by opening our circle to a wider audience we can inspire introspection, curious conversation, and of course, more reading in the world!
Circle Time: A Book Club Podcast
Marry Him by Lori Gottlieb
Olivia begins this conversation by giving an overview of what this book is about and who this book might be written for (probably not for us). We then dive into a discussion about qualities that make up a "life partner" and how those traits may be overlooked by some people because of smaller annoyances or distractions in the initial dating phase. We talk about how awkward and weird dating is or can be, but how necessary those parts are to form relationship with someone. We try to differentiate between wants and needs when it comes to relationship as well as the two different outlooks of "maximizers" and "satisficers". Join us for this stumbling and vulnerable conversation about love and partnership!
