Publisher's summary
We are all familiar with the term narcissism and the story of how some Greek god or another looked into a pool of water only to fall in love with himself. But what does it actually mean to date one of the same said species?
This easy-to-understand book explains the standard process from start to finish - through being completely bowled over and convinced that one has found their true soul mate to the games and tests narcissists play once the partner has been successfully seduced. This is a form of narcissistic handbook, essential to keep close at hand when our head is saying one thing but our heart is saying another.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

If, in the same breath, it breaks your heart to even consider leaving them because you can't imagine life without them, then I can understand that feeling too - because I was trauma bonded to my abusive ex.

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Considering that I've just left a narcissistic marriage, it was as though I was listening to a reading from my journal. I thought it was quite informative, but I could do with out the explenatives.

Info is outstanding - narrator is abysmal
Too bad the book was ruined by the narrator - I had to stop and take breaks from her grating, childish voice. Publisher needs to spend the money and re-record.
I would recommend only the written book - avoid this amateurish performance.

Best narcissist book
I loved the book as I could relate hand in hand with the characters and writer’s experience. I am now recovered from narcissistic trauma. Although I know it’s not over since he will be released from jail soon. I share a child with him and he always based his attention on me than our child or if I stop talking to him he stops calling for the child. My story is long. But this gave me a boost of confidence that I can handle what’s to come my way. Without running and moving to different states. I really wish they taught about predictors like this in school I had no clue about ppl like that when I met mine. Thank you!

Completely my life for the past 4 years.
Couldn't stop listening. At first it was really rough to listen to. Quite emotional, I felt like I was reliving the whole relationship, how could it be so amazing in the beginning? How could I have been so dumb. Tears. At the end of this book I became alot more knowledgeable, I was able to learn about the red flags. And most importantly, I learned about myself. That I'm still the woman with strength to move on. ❤️

Not of my liking but useful, kinda.
I just felt it was too dramatic and more like reading a dialogue of a woman going through a relationship, it wasn’t a novel yet it wasn’t a handbook on the subject which was kind of confusing. Easy to digest tho if you’re looking for something simple.
