All you need to know
I have to say what an utterly brilliant book. I have just come out of a 5 year relationship and feeling pretty low and scared about how I can ever meet anyone else. This book has transformed me, it gives valuable advice on how to treat potential suitors with none of the rubbish 'play games' advice of some relationship books. I actually wish I had read this while still in said relationship and I may have saved myself a couple of years of heartache. A must read for anyone whether in a relationship or not!
