Useful but disorganized--
This took me a whole two months to read, mostly because it was my "tertiary" book (I read 3-5 books in parallel) and partly due to its presentation that lacks coherence and cohesion.
The author goes in and out of multiple story threads, followed by some explanations to illustrate some point or the other while introducing terms like "Floaters" and "Paddlers."
The format of the book is a little bit unusual. For what I thought was book in the field of psychology, any evidence other than fictional stories to back up her claims is glaringly missing. This, coupled with a lack of organization, made it hard for me to go through it.
Granted, the story technique may have been informative in conveying what low self-esteem looks like in a relationship, but for a self-help book rooted in science, I felt it less than satisfactory.
Because self-esteem is such a fascinating subject, I will try her more famous book, Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem and see if I can get more out of it.
Overall: good information but not organized enough and not enough scientific evidence to back up the claims.
