Product details

Very insightful and non-biased. Highly recommend for anyone that is undecided on whether or not that they will remain in a relationship.
Content is something I haven't heard before. Although she says it's for everyone, it is definitely written for women.
I felt this book shed interesting light, and quite possibly was more accurate than not. However as a male reader I was put off because this book was written for the female audience, plain and simple. Dr Parker indicates early on that the information in this book is not gender-specific. I will not argue that point, however there were countless (and I mean so many that it's not funny) passages that included the phrases " your guy", "your man", and "your husband". Every single exemplification was written from and for the female perspective. It was always the male that was the "emotionally unavailable" partner in the relationship. Eventually I found it impossible not to roll my eyes when encountering such gender bias in the book. It seems the author either seems to think either men are the only emotionally unavailable gender, or that men just don't care enough about feeling alone to want to read a book with such a title. I was not disappointed with the content of the material as much as I was with the slant on the gender bias.
