In a similar vein to the question posted earlier today, I wanted to know what book reco would you see as a huge green flag when dating, and why?

My answer: Lonesome Dove

​

Why: It delves into themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships. If they like the book it tells me they have an understanding of the nuanced dynamics that make human connections meaningful.

    My husband and I were friends for years before we started dating, but when we got serious, I bought him Matilda and Harriet the Spy, so that he could get to know what I’d been like as a kid. (Though tbf I was only 13 when we met, so it wasn’t like he didn’t already have an inkling!)
