I’m not even sure I have the right words to describe this book. It’s a quick read, but I can’t necessarily say it’s an easy one. The author brings us with her as she learns the hard way how to identify a toxic relationship. There’s a very ‘down to earth’ quality about the writing that made it easy to connect with the concepts. It’s reaffirmed some of the things I believed about my own past and shown me how to better read the warning signs for the future. I’m very interested to see what I’ll learn from the author’s next book.

I was curious to read about a Narcissistic relationship and after reading this book, I was shocked, I was angry at the behaviour of the husband and upset for the lady, it was a real emotional rollercoaster and my heart goes out to anyone who is suffering. I want to thank the author for being so brave and sharing her story.

Bought this book as research for a fictional character in one of my novels, and I got a lot more than I bargained for. What a powerful, important book. Wow. Miro recounts her experiences with the emotionally abusive man whom she unfortunately married. Of course he was the sweet, romantic dream guy when she met him: French, physically fit, successful, caring, passionate. However, the more she got to know him, the more evident it became that his introductory personality was a mirage. The guy was actually a narcissistic psychopath whose life view centered completely around himself. He felt no empathy for the cares or concerns of others, especially her. Everything was her fault. What makes his aberrant behavior so fascinating is that everyone has known someone like him, or probably still do. I know I did once (a former boss), and I removed this person from my life and never once regretted it. Not for a single second.

I believe the most important part of the book, and the part which merits a 5-star review, is the section in which Miro details a step-by-step plan to leave your abusive, narcissistic partner. She gives great advice I wouldn’t have thought of, such as erasing the browsing history on all devices and removing the tracking feature from them as well. Leaving someone you once loved is never easy and shouldn’t be done without a concisely detailed plan of action. I can’t even fathom how important her advice would be for someone actually stuck in this situation.

My only grip with the book is that it feels a little short, almost like an extra-long magazine article. There are also places in which the book reads like an elaborate hate letter to her ex, but I imagine this would be unavoidable. His abuse and the trauma he caused her were profound. The book is also a lot more clinical in places than I expected. Who knew there were so many different types of narcissists, not all of them bad? It almost feels as though everyone in the world is a narcissist to some degree. However, these are very minor nitpicks, and this is an incredibly helpful book in dealing with an incredibly damaging person. I only hope this book isn’t you

I loved this very honest depiction of Elena's life with a narcissist. It is a very heartfelt account and really portrays the type of person he was. The honesty of this book takes you in right from the start.

This book is well written and informative, I felt so sad for the author, I had no idea what kind of affect a Narcissist was capable of. It certainly got me thinking about relationships I had been in and some of the blokes I had come across in my life. It was a real eye opener and I pray that people will read this book and spot the narc before they get involved...

A very compelling read that instantly connects you with the author in an emotional roller-coaster ride. The hard truth is unmasked and is a must read for anyone trapped in an unequal and abusive relationship. I look forward to the next publication!

This book on toxic relationships is a MUST READ for ALL women in my opinion

This book on toxic relationships is a MUST READ for ALL women in my opinion. Whether you have faced or are facing a toxic relationship with a man who is a narcissist and who has narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder or if you just want to strengthen your knowledge in what to look for, warning signs, so you can avoid these poisonous men at all costs I highly recommend reading Elena Miro’s book. This book was eye opening and incredibly validating for me. I wondered trying to pinpoint what the Marine veteran (I am currently and only momentarily in a relationship with working on my plan to get out hoping very soon) had knowing there was definitely some mental health issues going on but couldn’t put my finger on it—until now. These detailed definitions about narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder clarified so much for me. He fits these criteria to a T. I have not lost myself and my strength which I always had but being permanently disabled with a severe TBI and from its debilitating effects and now unfortunately disabling effects from Cauda Equina syndrome which are THE ONLY things that have delayed my leaving immediately bec I’m unfortunately reliant on this toxic man to get me to my many doctors appointments I cannot afford to miss bec my physical wellbeing depends on constant care. I am hoping to come into a different financial situation soon and if this works out as soon as he returns to work I will be putting my plan into motion to move myself and all my belongings out of here as fast as possible. I need him out of this house while he’s working bec I already know how aggressive he will get and there’s no way in hell I’m letting him have the opportunity to get that way with me. I cannot drive bec I have double vision and depth perception issues among other physical difficulties from this brain injury and it’s the only reason at moment I’m still here as he drives me to and from these important appointments and it’s his car. He is very emotionally, mentally, verbally and psychologically abusive and I have been done with his psychopathic man-child acting out for awhile now. I reached out to many different avenues for domestic violence survivors trying to get myself out of here safely sooner and they don’t help with moving expenses, moving your belongings which I will not give up bec I own most everything here and I went thru a lot to get to this level for myself aside from him. He’s not changing and actually getting worse as I’ve been in this relationship with him and I even wrote him a letter before reading this book and telling him why this needed to change. Yet he has continued and puts me down in the most cruel vicious ways and name calling and nearly turned physical a little while ago when he nearly threw a glass I bought him at me but thru seething teeth and fury somehow when I said are you seriously going to turn into a physical abuser now? He stopped himself with great difficulty in his tracks. Yet went upstairs and started destroying my belongings throwing them around. I contacted his adult daughter begging her to get him to stop and she did get him to stop thankfully. But I’m done. There is no way in hell I will put up with a lifetime of this abuse and I’d much rather be at peace and alone than to continue this nightmare by his side. He truly believes he can do no wrong and lies about what happens thru his teeth. I don’t need more proof and Elena’s book has been such an eye opening blessing clarifying the psychological definitions for me so I know what I’m dealing with. I hardly talk with him now as I’m heading toward that point where I can leave and I haven’t slept in the very comfortable mattress/bed I own since I returned from hospital after emergency surgery on my spine from Cauda Equina syndrome which he abused me horrendously with verbal abuse when I first got injured. After I returned to the townhouse I refused to lay beside this man-child and I won’t ever again. I deserve far better than this and look forward to the incoming day I can finally break free of his torment once this financial situation I’m depending on comes thru for me. Thank you, Elena, for sharing your truth with us all and for being a light in the darkness. I truly appreciate you and your story and even the hug you gave at the end of your book. Thank you for the validation and for helping me pinpoint what he had so I know my enemy better and I am better able to survive safely knowing these truths and make a better escape plan.

In the skin of the protagonist

This book has made me stand in the shoes of the protagonist. The different stages of the behavior of the main character that you live intensely are explained very well. I liked it a lot. I've never read anything like this before.

No, I am not married to a narcissist man, but I’ve dated one and was best friends with one. This book didn’t give much of an insight into living with a narcissist person, in my opinion. This felt very surface-level.
