The entire book reads like one long infomercial, selling its product with a patronizing smile and the * assurance of yes, it's that easy! There are soooo many cringe worthy bits of this and it did nothing but anger me.

She accuses you of being a nagging, ungrateful shrew responsible for all your misfortune. Unpalatable narrative, condescending tone, toxic messages and false promises.

Laura doyle is misinformed and outdated. Her co conspirator karen severson murdered missy in 1985. Why would a beautiful (missy) girl want a man that found jealous bullies like laura and karen attractive?
