Customer Reviews

Utterly fantastic
Jargon free, logical and totally on the money, this is one of the best relationship self help books I've read. It was refershing to find something written for a British audience with familiar cultural points-of-reference that the American books lack, and the common sense analysis will help you focus on what you already know is going wrong, and what you already know you have to do.
Utterly recommended.

Structured and soothing common sense advice
I agree with the other review shown but thought I'd add another as that one was written a few years ago.

I found that this book mainly told me what I already knew, but I still found it very useful. Reading through it chapter by chapter helped me to clarify my thoughts and feelings, and to think about the various options open to me and their likely outcomes.

I found the book reassuring, and would recommend it to anyone who thinks that their relationship may be nearing an end.

Very clear and concise. The best of the relate series.
Excellent! It has changed my outlook on life to a more realistic and enjoyable one!

Suzie Hayman writes this book with clarity and practical advice, backed up with factual research.

I would recommend this book to anyone considering a relationship, or in a relationship (practically everyone). It's essential reading for anyone wishing to adopt a healthy, open-minded, 'preventative' coping mechanism to enjoy life in the happiest of ways. Making the most of relationships is what this book is all about, and moving on when the time is right (a healthy trend in society at large)!

The content is an all-encompassing view of everyone involved in relationships: mums, dads, children, step-parents, step-children and everyone else's views and opinions (friends and further relatives); and the likely effect of their views in a rapidly changing society with increasingly complicated family structures.

A must-have!
