Being trapped with narcissists is currently a pretty hot topic in the pop psychology/relationships space. The book sounds helpful, but I don't see how it differs from 20 long blog posts that talk about the same thing.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

The opposite of love is indifference. Narcissistic relationships can be emotionally damaging. Characteristics include a constant need for praise, manipulation, lack of empathy, charm, and emotional abuse. Narcissists use gaslighting, lies, and blame-shifting, creating a toxic and unloving environment.

This book has an abundance of information and tips on how to deal with narcissistic partners and the way to recognise an abusive and unhealthy relationship. I believe a wide range of readers will find this well-detailed book very informative. Thanks for the recommendation.

Well, I guess this is definitely a book I have been searching for. I have been studying narcissists and one of their qualities is manipulation. I agree with all their characteristics that you've highlighted on your review.
Thanks for the informative review!

This almost sounds like the "dissection" of a narcissist, so detailed and informative is the book telling about all the signs and providing the methods to deal with it. It was interesting to read the review, so I believe the book will be interesting as well. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

"The Opposite of Love" by Vicki Mills is a book in which the author tells readers that the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. A relationship with a narcissist can have long-term consequences on the other side.
