Review:Not at all what I was expecting or hoping for. Really don't waste your money on this book unless you just want a book to basically say "did you feel like this? Me too." Very disappointing, no help, no tips, nothing but a waste of time. Read more

Review:Well written, and easy to understand. This book was definitely helpful in my understanding of this emotional addiction. Having said that, it definitely caters to the more serious cases, and doesn't offer a lot of suggestion on more 'soft addicts' Read more

Review:My boyfriend thought it would be a good read for us since we clicked and carried on rather quickly in our budding relationship. It was a great read with a lot to think about!

Review:This book may be pretty good but it was not exactly what I thought it would be. It is more about anorexia and bullemia than overeating. I really haven't gotten into it enough to give it a great review, so I was a bit disappointed. Read more

Review:Worth reading. Good look into dynamics of addiction and impact on those around the user. Verghese is an engaging author and captures the attention of the reader quickly. While not light, the issues he tackles are real. Read more

Review:Everyone should read this or at least anyone who has trouble with any relationship which is most everyone! I had no understanding of this concept before I read this. It explained boundaries very well. Read more

Review:This book is very powerful to have you engaged into a real life changing experience. Its unique value is that it is rooted in both academic / scientific research and real life experience.
