"I really enjoyed this book. It taught me how to stop pleasing people and set boundaries. It also taught me how to express my feelings and control my emotions. The book explained how CBT can help and some exercises that can be done, and also how to maintain independence and how to rely on my wife and both benefit from our relationship."

"This book does a wonderful job at fulfilling the promises of its title. The author explores the idea of womanhood and how the way a woman grows up translates immensely into their adult life. There are clear examples in every chapter to outline the different types of codependency, each of them touch on and expand the details of what each of them looks like. Not only does the author deeply explain them but also provides activities for readers to do if they relate to what the chapter has just explained. The book presents questions which helps to make the readers connected to the material. Overall, the book feels like a safe space for women to read, relate to what is written, and have the materials to work on themselves after finishing the book. The material written is so easily understandable and impressionable, it is clear that this book will stay in the minds of the people who have read it. There is no confusion as to what codependency is, what it looks like, and how to overcome it. This book is a practical guide that dives into all of the underlying factors and psychological background that comes with understanding its subject material."

"There are lots of books on codependency out there-I know, I've read them! So, why choose this one? Linda Hill's recovery guide contains nuggets of wisdom bolstered by research. She starts each chapter with thoughtful, well-chosen quotations and ends them with key takeaways and reflective activities that really make you dig deep. The chapter on learning to "date yourself" is in itself a reason to buy this book! Hill also includes an exhaustive reference list with classic works as well as more recent sources. She manages to pack a lot of learning into a single volume!"
