- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I truly appreciated that the author of this book clearly stated narcissism was about the narcissist in no uncertain terms. Most of the books I’ve read seem to be written from the the perceptive of empathy for the narcissist which is a problem when you, the victim are already susceptible to feeling bad for your perpetrator over yourself. I thought the book was very well written, strong in advice and reading was pleasurable.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Funny enough the author gaslights the democraticly elected President, repeatedly. The chapter on famous narcissists was speculative and completely unwarranted. The books gives you a general overview of the behavior and what to do about it.

Given that insight into "the problem" is the first step to improvement, and Chloe's compassion or at least understanding stretches from victim to villain: her explanations help me, may help many of you, all of us in our individual way, to overcome victimisation.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nothing huge. It did help a little bit with seeing how my mom thinks. However having my mom saying I’m ungrateful and disrespectful. She suggests I say “I am graceful and I’ll complain less” isn’t that wining with me saying I’m wrong? Also I could go without the political comments. Saying Trump gaslighted all of us and how scary is that. I guess Republicans are the only ones who gaslight. Maybe Liberals are the only ones who get gaslighted?
