Customer Reviews

Waste of time & money!

Disappointed in this book written by a therapist! I read this in 30 minutes. It’s like a nude comic book for immature adults. The nude cartoon characters took away from the message she was trying to deliver. Would not recommend.

Helpful perspective that sticks to the ribs

This book has staying power. Because it comes at the reader with disarming visuals and humor, it is accessible to couples in a way that other accounts of the pursuer-distancer relationship are not. While it deals primarily with this dynamic (pursuer-distancer), there is some of nearly everyone in the antics depicted in the illustrations. I recommend this book for those struggling to get what they want in an intimate relationship.

The Two Step: The DanceToward Intimacy

This book is funny, risque, and amazingly profound. I couldn't put it down. I could see every relationship I ever had, with my parents, my children, my friends, in a clearer way. I loved it and gave it as a Xmas presents.

Introspective yet Easy!

Using simple pictures this book manages to convey some of the most intricate aspects of relationships. It helps you identify your patterns within relationships and what you can do to break those patterns and create a deeper intimacy. I appreciated the honesty of the author because at no point did she say this would be an easy or painless process - but rather that it would be an ongoing struggle that would result in a lively and rewarding relationship. I've read other relationship books but none were as capturing or easy to understand.

A relationship self-help comic book

A wonderful starting point for communication in a new relationship. Gives insight into what and how partners think with suggestions for conflict resolution. The easiest to read relationship book on the market. Written for both sexes to read. The illustrations prove that a picture is worth a thousand words.

This will change the way you view your partner!

Very easy to read. A fun book, that will help you understand your partner and view them in a much clearer light
