This was quite good at doing what it was supposed to. The writing style was clear, concise and to the point, while not feeling analytical or boring. The author made some really good, insightful points and observations and gave clear solutions, exercises and examples to make the reader better understand the issues and what they can do about them in their own lives. Overall, a great resource to come back to on the theme of self-love and boundarie setting

Thank you, Michelle!
This is the book I kinda knew I needed. It's such an important book for everyone, but especially women! I do hope it will be translated into German so I can give it to all my friends and family. All of us deserve to read this book and learn more about boundaries.
Michelle intertwines boundaries from different areas with examples from her own life with highlight her journey and show that she too started from scratch and it took work and effort and also pain to end up where she is. She's definitely a person I look up to!
This will not be the last time I've read this book. I've basically highlighted every second sentence. I want it to be my to-go-to-book whenever I need it. So again, thank you for this book!
