Down to earth, solid advice

Like a chat with your most empathetic and best girlfriend, but from a nonjudgmental and objective perspective that we all need sometimes. Empowering and motivating. Thank you, Natalie Lue!

A very good listen.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who needs that gentle reminder to love themselves. NC to me basically means avoid the distractions. Avoid thinking about the other person, and instead think about yourself! I liked the part where she says (and I'm paraphrasing): "Happiness equates to a positive sense of self, and will lead you into situations where people vibrate with the positive you." Because no one likes to be around a Debbie downer! Lol

Good book, great narration. 5 starts.

a must listen if you have been in/amidst ending, or are in, and unhealthy or one way relationship

this book really hit home and validated my feelings around what I am going through, particularly narcissistic relationship abuse.

A tonic

If you know that you are vulnerable to a ping-pong relationship and you really want to be free of the pain of it, this book is great. It is very affirming, just like having a friend in your corner helping you find your inner strength.

Of course all the hard work is to come, but the author is very realistic. She paints a picture of freedom from the tyranny of that sort of relationship that is both attractive and a bit scary.
The narrator is great for this book and listening to it is probably more powerful than reading it. If you think you need this book then let me wish you luck.

Great!

If you need a million reasons about why you are thinking about or are currently going No contact then this is the book for you.
Lots of relatable material which is great as a reminder that we all experience these difficulties in relationships. Reminds you of the importance of self worth and how to implement strategies to improve it in the context of relationships.
All in all a great book, narration clear and engaging also which certainly helps!

Recommended.

Excellent advice

Wish I’d read this in my twenties. It’s helped me understand things about myself and given me confidence to be single in my 40s.

Highly recommend even if you don't need to ...

...go "no contact" ...yet or any longer as this is just a very honest guide to recalibrate what is and isn't okay in relationships, romantic or platonic. I think this book is full of relationships hacks too, as knowing how to establish and respect boundaries, mine and that of my ex/partner, is handy to know at any stage of a relationship or breakup.

I like this book especially because of the focus ans tone, as it avoids pointing fingers at the X type of terrible Ex and doesn't pamper the ego by "you're already brilliant and perfect" it's just the Ex. I found that very refreshing and I guess it is an atypical self help book in general. I really enjoyed this no-nonsense approach - not only was it a good and needed reminder that much of the pain is homemade and we got our hands stuck in the dough too, but also that we can pull them out ANY time ...and what it means if we don't and what to do next. Fool-in-love-proved and tested!!

And apart from instructions on how to go NC in every imaginable situation one could possibly be in, there are so many more useful tips and checks in here that make the book worth buying. So whether one needs a practical how-to guide to retain/regain ones integrity and self-respect or help with getting a grip on all those nagging thoughts, habits, hurts and dynamics developed during a tricky relationship or over a lifetime, then this is the book! I wish, in fact, that I had found it sooner and I will certainly keep listening to this book again (...and again), so if you're undecided, don't be, IT'S SO WORTH IT!!!
