Insightful on emotional decision-making
Reviewed: 08-23-20
First off, this book is real talk. The author's narration really spells out her experience throughout the book. I know what it is like to be in a toxic relationship/addiction to false hopes with those that break trust and it goes on a cycle of giving too many chances. The transition point of when enough is enough is powerful, yet the cycle sneaks in unless you are firm to draw that line. I noticed after hearing this book that Dennis was on that cycle too by not dealing with his insecurities from his past traumas had caused him to make emotional decisions to lash out externally. This is as realistic as it can get when making the same mistake over and over again hoping for a different outcome. Overall it speaks to my heart. Thank you for sharing!!
