- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’ve never known how to pick and evaluate a partner. Usually you meet, have sex then it falls apart. This is great guide.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everyone who is in the dating world should read this book. It’s an excellent read even if you are married! Hopefully one day the knowledge of what causes toxic relationships will be as common knowledge in the world as the causes of lung cancer.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it, it´s very detailed and offers many examples
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting points about what to look for in choosing a partner. However the discussion about premarital sex and cohabitation is a little suspect.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book blew my mind! As a person who's been learning about relationships over the last 8 years, I STILL learned a lot from this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good and I highly recommend this book for anyone of any age that wants to date
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great eye opener. I believe it can benefit not only singles, but people in relationships or marriages too. It gives you great insight on what to look out for and the mistakes you may have been doing or are currently doing. Definitely recommend it!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5So stupid waste of time and money very sorry to listen
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thank you so much. This book is exactly what I need, especially the last chapter
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There were so many ah-ha moments in this book for me. My husband and I had many wonderful conversations start from lines, ideas and lessons in this book. We are already married (almost 14 years) but we want to take a course together to keep from being jerks to each other. Great read!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really good book , I recommended it for understanding our gaps on how we have failed in love
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like that there are lots of statistics to back up the authors points. He also includes examples or summaries to help the reader understand, and more would have been helpful for me. This books makes me reconsider how I would start my next relationship.
