I need some sort of advice book to read and write about for my final in 5 weeks, was trying to start now. I will add a photo in a comment for more context. I am also open for questions to help with a suggestion that may be more interesting to me. Thanks y'all.
ETA I guess I can't add a photo, so I'll try and summarize. It needs to be an advice book about either dating, relationships, marriage, sex, etc, and I need to write about stereotypes, gender role expectations and other assumptions about men/women relationship archetypes, etc.

The Art of Not Being an Asshole has advice. It’s short, to the point, and sometimes funny.
Would a Brene Brown book be too “been there done that”?
He’s Just Not That In To You. It was THE dating guide of the 2000s. I’m sure it’s dated enough now to provide lots to analyze
Ooh Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus is an oldie but a goodie!!
I don’t know that I’d call it “advice,” but Elissa Bassist’s “Hysterical” is outstanding.
I would totally pick that Steve Harvey book called something like Think Like A Man, Act Like A Woman.
I’ve never read it but I always thought it would be hilarious.
Not just friends by Shirley Glass.
It’s a bit of an unusual suggestion. It’s about navigating infidelity/emotional affairs. All 3 perspectives are addressed -the betrayed partner, the involved partner and the affair partner. There are a lot of stereotypes and gender expectations in regards to relationships so this might work.
{The Queen’s Code by Alison Armstrong}. If you’re looking for a good book, this isn’t it. I couldn’t read much of it.
The Rules! It’s a dating advice book for women that was hugely popular in the mid-90’s.
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray
