Great addition to my collection
I read every book on setting boundaries I can find. This is yet another one, but each one gives me a little bit of new information.
I like this one a lot and I’m very happy with the information it shared. A lot of it was just stuff to remind me of things I’m already doing, but there was new info in there as well. Also well researched.
