Such a great book!

Read some men complaining on here saying book was too female centric. However this book can be for everyone! If you struggle with boundaries this book is for you!

Thought provoking

While some ideas are a little rigid for me, the general premise was sound. I'll definitely be thinking about being clearer with my boundaries in future.
