Review

Keeping Score is a self help book about relationships, how to deal with them and what to expect from both sides of the relationships. Whether you're in a relationship or not, this book will help you prepare for what will come in the future of your relationship or your future relationships.

This is my second Self-help relationship book I've read, and there wasn't much difference between the two. Keeping Score is interesting because it give you insight in what a relationship will probably be like in 4 years or 10 years.

I personally took the quiz that was in the beginning of the book, even though I'm not in a relationship. I took it and answered it in a way that shows how and what I want my ideal partner to be like and how we are with each other. The results came out with a score of 89. Which is great. I know that this quiz is only for those who are in relationships because of the questions given, but I can say that if I were in a relationship, the results would be accurate, because it all makes sense to me.

This book appeals to both women and men. It doesn't matter if they're single or in a relationship. Even though Keeping Score revolves around a short quiz at the beginning of the book to evaluate ones relationship, it still gives advice to single ladies and gents about what to expect and what to do in a relationship, how to think, and how to deal with things.
