It's a quick read if you want it to be, but slowing down and taking notes is useful. It has some grammar and spelling mistakes (took a star off for this).
Still a useful tool that can very much help supplement therapy or read through during a waitlist for therapy.

Hmm
This more seemed like a generalized overview. I was actually glad to finish it. Perhaps it just wasn't my cup of tea.

I have one criticism of this book: it could use a good copy editor.
It also uses the outmoded, obsolete term "passive-aggressive" several times. Anyone current with study will know this is about as meaningful a term as "reverse racism". People masking their aggression behind a façade of passivity are simply manipulative as well as aggressive.
After that, it's an accessible and articulate book on an important subject. I found myself nodding in agreement time and time again as I reviewed some of the different aspects of boundaries in relationships, recognizing times where my own relationships were "enmeshed" or "codependent". It was very satisfying to read some of the words I have needed to hear, particularly that we have to follow our needs, to learn to say "no" and sometimes not please others for our own greater good. This is not selfish, but self-preservation. There are a number of thought-exercises in the book that may open your eyes about your current and past boundaries and they may compel you to take meaningful action to take more responsibility for the harm you allow others to do.
A valuable, short read.
