OK, so I am going to recommend it to my clients a lot because it's short and easy to read. But I wish the author had added one or two suggestions for what a step-parent might actually DO to improve performance.

Good read!

The author makes sense and does it in the fewest words possible. The book a quick read. I just wished that the book was longer. I could not get enough.

boring

It was a fast read and not overly helpful as a new step mom. I wish there would have been more information contained in the book.

Before I start my review I want to let it be known I received this book through a goodreads giveaway. In return I am giving an HONEST review.

I have been involved in a step parent role for a little over a year now. This book couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me personally. This book is excellently put together. The advice is spot on. It is full of things I personally needed to hear.

I would recommend all new step parents put this in their library and Must Read pile!

Very basic information that I found to be common knowledge.
