On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good by Elise Loehnen

I liked the layout of this book a lot. Good format and detailed points, and I actually liked her narration. I really liked the last chapter on sadness (a forgotten deadly sin). The reinforcement of individual stories and her own anecdotes paired with hard statistics worked for me.
