I read this book after watching a popular Instagram/YouTube dating personality, Kendra G. The reason for the recommendation is in the title: women do love hard…and too much. So much so that we put other people’s feelings above our own.
The book was eye-opening for me, in that it was very intriguing to learn, through shared stories, how other women think. I think that I went through some of these phases during my late teens and early twenties, so I don’t that many of the stories related to my current ‘Me’. The stories were reflective though. Good read for those who need inspiration in getting through loving a person hard…even though they don’t deserve it.
Now if I can find a book that teaches me how to stop cutting men off at the first sign of a red flag…because my cut off game is strong.

A great in to learn to reel yourself in, to recognise patterns and understand behaviours. Sure, there is a clear 80's influence, but discernment goes a long way. Interesting nonetheless.

Es un GRAN libro. Pero dms largo, en algunos capítulos expone dms casos de mujeres y por lo mismo termina por sor repetitivo con algunos temas

After almost a year and a half, I have finally finished this book. It was initially recommended to me by my psychologist, as I had (and still have) the bad habit of starting relationships with emotionally unavailable men. Now, by the time I have finished reading it, it is not so much of a problem anymore, and the book felt slightly redundant to the psychological development and realizations I have had. I am quite young and everything moves at incredible speed at this age. I am glad this book has opened my eyes to possibly harmful ways of loving: I had never perceived love as something destructive before this. It opens discussions and reflections and I appreciate that incredibly much. Still, it was very intense to read, and I struggled to stay interested in it - it often felt repetitive and not very attention grabbing.

"Obsession isn't love, Trudi. It's just obsession."
Whew, it took me a really, REALLY long time to get through this book. And that is not a bad thing nor does it say anything about the quality of this book. Basically, I couldn't continue the book if I wasn't at that stage of recovery yet. So I'd take really long pauses before continuing. At some point in the many, many narratives, I got a bit annoyed that there were so many. That's the only reason this book isn't 5 stars. Honestly, I wanted to hate this book and put it away forever. But I'm glad I kept going. I was resisting the book because I was resisting change in myself. Anyway, finishing this feels like an accomplishment. I'm glad my dad recommended it.
