Kristopher was the type of man any woman hoped to fall in love with. Intelligent, charming, and worldly—everyone loved him. Yet, his definition of love was a far cry from the idealistic vision he painted. Behind closed doors, his behavior was erratic—from loving and kind to distant and cruel. Repeatedly, I ignored the voice in my head that told me to walk away now. Tangled in the web he systematically spun, I questioned everything I thought and did; I no longer knew who I was or what I was capable of.

Narcissists are seemingly irresistibly charming people. They fill you with love and attention until you fall in love, and then they trap you in their darkness.

This book warns against narcissists by teaching you to recognize them, recognize their subtle tricks, and showing you how to break this vicious circle. Your boundaries are not negotiable. This is the right book that can help you take back your life.
