I wish this book was written YEARS ago! While I was reading this informative book, I was mentally going through all the red flags of the past. The departure of my recent ex (even though I'm the one who initiated the breakup) left me reeling. I was in an off-on two year relationship with him. He was ALWAYS too busy to call me or answer my calls (even though he had all the time in the world to text), I had to schedule my phone calls with him in advance (RED FLAG) - and yet he seldom answered.
When we broke up the first time, it was because his mom said so (RED FLAG). She didn't approve of me even though she never met me. I had to put up with unacceptable behavior because I chose to ignore the red flags and didn't think I could do better (re-evaluation of my self-esteem was in order).
So needless to say that this book is a life-saver, especially to a gal like me whose red flag GPS system is on the fritz. I like the layout of the book. It's well-organized and well-written. The authors wrote this book in an upbeat, humorous and conversational style, I could quote them! Here are two of my many favorites: "Conversing with some men is like talking to a bobblehead doll - they nod and nod and never say anything." "You want to be his soul provider, but instead you're his sole provider."
Even though the authors utilize wit, it doesn't undercut the profound message. The chapters are grouped around a section which share a common core message. Within the chapters you'll find Red Flag principles. One of my favorite principles is: "If you have to think twice about whether or not the man is treating you right, you're already thinking too hard." There are WTF real stories which are outrageous and make you glad that you weren't in the girls' shoes. Between some sections (although I wished that there were more in order hone my red-flag-spotting skills) you'll find a red flag case study where you're required to spot the red flags.
If you're anything like me and often have 20/20 vision AFTER the relationship is over and left wondering why you didn't SEE it coming, then you'll find this book massively helpful in avoiding another dating disaster.
The critical reviewers have said that it's common sense or something to that effect. The rules in this books aren't ground-breaking and most of us know them, but we overlook them. Hence, the title, "relationship warning signs you totally spotted but chose to ignore."
Honestly, since the departure of my ex, I was petrified of dating again and repeating the same mistakes. However, with this book at my disposal, I have some confidence that I can now spot the red flags from the get-go. I'm so glad that the authors turned it into a book - so women like me could benefit from it.

Great book but…
I really liked this book. Bought it again because my friend never returned my last copy. I would recommend the book itself.Not sure why the seller left the $1.49 tag on it and charged me more. I get shipping and such would have not been worth selling it. But I feel ripped off with the price tag on it, especially being several dollars lower. I still would have paid the price I did. But I don’t like to know how much people mark stuff up.

the final lesson of knowing yourself so you can know what are red flags for you is simply brilliant.
