I wanted to love this book. A few chapters in, I would've settled for liking it. This book is a must-read if you are into stories of people growing weary of trying to make their marriages work for decades and then being labeled as "covert narcissists" once they decide to leave, despite having never shown any clinically narcissistic traits. I have read many popular psychology and self-help books, but this is unfortunately a hard pass. It was bad enough that I returned it.
