Customer Reviews

Very poignant, practical and convicting book

This is a really good starting guide for those who are looking to become a better option for the better option in a partner that they want. If you struggle with self-condemnation, this book may come across as another checklist of things to try and fail at, but if you can get outside of not being perfect but still showing up, this is a great book.

Great for people who are single

For me it was an eye opener. I’ve been single for a long time. This just reminded me of the possibility of why. Things I’ve been doing that were repetitive and things that I need to change in order for me to find the right person for me. Some are common sense but I’ve gain some knowledge and I’ve started my one year break challenge 😊 need a new start to focus on just me.
