To paraphrase Dr. Today is a great day to start valuing and taking care of ourselves. Tania Ginoza. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the title.

In the core of the book, Dr. Ramani breaks down everything that has happened in a relationship with a narc and everything that will happen should you stay. She gives practical advice on how to conduct yourself if you stay and what to expect should you leave. It is a very pragmatic book that at times sounds like come to Jesus.
