Yes, Women Who Love Too Much is the quintessential self-help book. It fits every stereotype given to this genre. That being written, I read this at a time when I needed the help and to understand relationships. It was after a particularly devastating relationship and I was in a dark place. I don't remember if anything impacted me when I read the book, but years later I find myself flashing back to it from time to time, remembering something small from the book and being able to make some sense of things or relate certain issues in the present back to the information that seeped through. There have been many "Ohhhhh...yeah, I remember reading that" moments for me.

It's not going to change your life or save you from falling into your darkest places, but it's a good book for women to read if only to understand certain patterns of behavior that either we, individually or collectively, put into our relationships. While I don't remember it to be preachy, it does a good job of explaining why we may do certain things and why we shouldn't.

Yes, it's kitschy and you might be embarrassed if someone sees that you're reading it, but I'd recommend this for all women.

Gisela Pérez They recommended me this book when I was recovering from an awful marriage full of abuse and manipulation. I started it but I couln't put up with it, it made my anxiety reach peak levels and although I made many of the mistakes contained in the book I couldn't help thinking how stupid those women were. You know, I think I saw myself in their experiences and felt extremely embarrassed.
Now, 18+ years later, they have recommended it for the second time, also within the context of psychotherapy for trying to heal my wounds from damage. So, I'll definitely read it now.
