Finance ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Money and Love
Myra Strober & Abby Davisson · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Megan Tusing
76/100
👍 Worth It
A 30-year Stanford course adapted into the 5Cs framework gives this more intellectual backbone than the relationship-and-money shelf usually offers, and the authors' willingness to include personal stories about divorce and a spouse's Parkinson's disease makes it feel grounded and honest rather than prescriptive. The framework applies most directly to conventionally-partnered adults at conventional life stages, so the audience is narrower than the marketing suggests. Megan Tusing's warm narration suits the anecdote-driven conversational style well.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Secular framing of cohabitation and divorce — parents with traditional family views may want awareness. We still scored it 76; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
