What a fabulous book! I wish I had this when I was dating years ago. Times have changed, and terms have changed but people have not. I also wish this was available for my daughters!

One of the things I really appreciate about this book is its practical approach. The book covers a wide range of red flags, including emotional manipulation, lack of communication, and controlling behavior, among others.
