Light-hearted book about learning to let go and accept the past. Finished it in about half an hour. It's got a lot of cartoons in it which is why it's very quick to get through. Great message and cute cartoons!

[Daniel Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book has a simple message. The way out of victimhood is to accept 100% responsibility. From my experience, when you do this, you're at your most resourceful.

Not too keen on the layout
Too Much going on - on each page
But the concept of the topic was conveyed quickly and easily so you got the point real quick.
Story is done mostly with cartoon pictures that show emotions etc - good for someone who doesn't want to get bogged down with long drawn out explanations of depression or life tragedies.
Easy reading and at times funny

This book really opened up my eyes to how much we hold onto the past and how much it affects our present. It gave my tricks and hints to move through past traumas and into a more positive mindset for the present and future.

[Jodie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes the hardest thing in life is letting go of past hurts, as always Bev Aisbett puts it in a simple almost comical way to make you feel better and understand why it is better to move on with your life.
