I recently read a short memoir called good night honey that does exactly this — it dissects a romance scam not as a story of betrayal but as an asymmetrical configuration of roles, incentives, and function. It’s part narrative, part analytical glossary.
I’d love to find more books (memoirs or non-fiction) that take a similar approach: breaking down relational dynamics in a systematic way. Any recommendations?

bell hooks’ “all about love” might scratch that itch – she breaks down how capitalism and patriarchy mess with our ability to actually connect properly.
