Family Relationships
Review:After a very painful break-up, I found myself trying to call him, asking his friends for information about him, ect. My friends were sick of hearing about him, and I was going crazy. Then I picked up this book. The advice was very straight forward, and the anecdotes were very funny.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been dumped or did the dumping, and is an emotional wreck. BTW I am now blissfully single and enjoying dating again! Read more
Review:For every parent who feels the strain of relating to your children who are now fully grown. This book took away the anxiety I was feeling and the anger it was creating with feelings of an abandonment of sorts. I was not prepared for how I would feel once my son was truly independent.

This book has given me the perspective and the truth I needed to move forward with my son in my life. Read more
Review:I found this book extremely helpful. While I am not in a divorce situation, someone very close to me is. I read this book in one day as I found so much of the information pertinent to what my loved on was going through. I will be sharing this book with them as well. Read more
Review:I definitely appreciate the fact that an author finally recognized the issue of having a borderline parent. However, you can tell the author is simply a good author...that's it.

Review:What a beautiful, poignant and moving book. Reading this book is like sitting down with a good friend and chatting over lunch. She’s the friend who can say what's in your heart but expresses it so much better. She conveys these 12 phrases through offering us glimpses into her own life. One minute she's telling you how she went ballistic over a toilet that wasn't flushed (by the way, if you ever find yourself at Kelly's house don't let the dog lick you ?), and the next minute she's breaking your ...

Review:Great read for those who recently had a relationship end. The book explained not only my feelings, but I also explained what my ex was going through and why she likely acted the way she did. The book really helped make sense of all this upheval in my life and help me place things into proper perspective. If you just ended a relationship and are looking for insights and answers, then this book is a must read. Read more
Review:This is an amazing and disturbing book. Why someone didn't intervene during her school days is hard to grasp. It's amazing she escaped suicide. I'm so glad her life has a happy ending and I hope she finds her sister. Read more
