You’ve been playing games in your relationship for far too long and it’s about to cost you what you really you want: love. If you don’t pull it together and get a grip, you know you will be alone soon. Fearing rejection and abandonment, a person with the fearful-avoidant attachment style is passive-aggressive and has a hard time seeing their own worth. They question love and their actions are confusing to their partner.

This book discusses all four attachment styles, but highlights the fearful-avoidant partner.

Not enough details about the solutions to different attachment styles. The ecc do plantation of the attachment styles was good.

Awful.

This book is not made to help fearful avoidant people, but further alienate them.

Accusatory generalizations overwhelm helpful info

Despite having "fearful avoidant" in the title, there are very few details about this specific attachment style and little to no insights about its origins, effects on individuals who display the attachment style, or how one might work toward building more secure attachments.
If you're able to get past the intro, where the author essentially berates people with fearful-avoidant attachment, you're rewarded with an hour of a robotic voice echoing the same tired opinions of the thousands of "relationship experts" on YouTube & TikTok.
This was truly an abhorrent piece of work, with all the wisdom and angst of a high schooler who just got dumped for the first time

Entirely unhelpful and exploitative

I think this book is best read once you already have a more deep understanding of the four attachment styles. This was a good read because it helps you in an hour to recall all that you know and helps you to make proper efforts towards a more secure relationship.

Quick and Straight to the point.

This is not a book to help out fearful avoidants, its a book to accuse them and make them feel worse about themselves. The accusatory tone in this book is unjustified - why write a book like this??

Disturbing

I was expecting more of an academic approach but instead I found a hateful and negative description of an attachment..

Not worth it.

I was listening to this book for help, but all she really did was talk crap. I was feeling like maybe i need this tuff love. But then I remembered I don’t have to deal with this. Made me feel bad about myself. -book seems to have no uniform, switching back and forth between person with attachment and person dealing with them. Also talked about too many different attachments styles.

Strange book.

This is a misleading title. The content appears to be the exact same as the other titles by this author about the other attachment styles. This is about all attachment styles, with no particular focus on fearful avoidant. I wanted a book focused only on fearful avoidant attachment style. A specialized book.

All of the books in the series appear to be the same but purport to be focused on one attachment style.

Given the sensitivity and of this subject matter, I actually feel exploited.

Also, the narrator sounds like an upbeat professional cheerleader at a football game. Awful.
