Tên tiếng Việt của sách là “Thao túng tâm lý trong tình yêu”. Tôi không rõ mục đích của việc đổi tên sách của tác giả một cách chóng mặt như vậy, do cụm từ “thao túng” đang viral ở năm tháng gần đây chăng? Điều này khiến mn nhận thức sai về nội dung của tác phẩm.
Sick Love không hề bày vẽ cho bạn những thủ thuật để thao túng tâm lý người bạn tình hay con mồi của bạn, mà qua nội dung sách chia sẻ bạn những cảm xúc, dấu hiệu và mách bạn cách đối diện với chúng qua câu chuyện và hành động của nhân vật.
Về mặt đánh giá cá nhân quyển sách mang cho tôi những cách nhìn mới mẻ trong những tình huống nhất định của một mối quan hệ yêu đương. Quyển này tôi nghĩ nó phù hợp với tất cả mọi người, từ người chưa yêu, đang yêu, chuẩn bị yêu đánh giá hoàn thiện chính bản thân mình, cũng như nhận biết những mối quan hệ độc hại mà né chúng.

Authentic life story
Easy to read, this book is about sharing stories and giving direction for thoughts. Even if not in an abusive relationship lots of it resonated with me. Beautifully honest about her feelings with some interesting practicalities.

Mình vô tình đọc đc quyển này bản tiếng Việt với tựa đề nghe không hay lắm. Với mình và những người sống lý trí tương tự thì quyển này ko đem lại được nhiều giá trị lắm.
