Modern dating has women carrying the load, second-guessing themselves and still being left on read.
If you are constantly analysing your dating life and believe you need to change yourself to find a fulfilling relationship, this book is for you.
Through a mix of personal dating stories and fascinating psychological research, this book helps you stop trying to change who you are-and start changing the way you see yourself and approach dating.
If you are holding back on being who you really are for fear of being unlovable, then it's time we talk about your audacity. Yeah, you heard me, your f#cking audacity.
For someone to love who you really are, you need to be who you really are. I know you're sick of hearing 'just be yourself!' or 'just focus on you!', so let's unpack what your friends are really trying to say to you.
It's time to stop disrespecting yourself, recognize your worth, and start receiving what you truly want in your dating life.
This book feels like the honest, hilarious conversation I wish I'd had with my best friend at sixteen. It's packed with truth bombs, fresh perspectives, and deep emotional clarity. It's not just advice, it's a whole new dating wardrobe, stitched together with the radiant bold colours of self-worth and radical honesty.
