A truly wonderful book. Really informative and gave me the information I needed to get my life a bit more together. Some of it was stuff I already knew but didn’t think was ok. It is ok.
My needs are valid and I deserve to have them met. That is the overwhelming lesson from this.
Absolutely would recommend; I will likely be rereading this and annotating it more on regular occasions!

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!
