I’m so excited about this. I’d love to help my kids learn boundaries at a young age instead of at 42 in my case. I’m pre-ordering this now. Thanks Michelle

Fantastic news!! Can't wait to read it with my little girl as she grows (although, at 3, she has very little trouble saying no to everyone and everything at the moment 😅).

Woah! I wasn’t expecting that! That’s so cool! How amazing you get to live out your dream whilst impacting the next generation to be confident in their relationships. I love this! I imagine for my inner child this will be very healing too!

Congratulations! I wish I had this book growing up... might not have been the “yes” child I was so I would be liked.

Congratulations🥳❤️! Can't wait to read this one as well 🤩. I think my nieces (9 and 12 y/o) will like this book too. They struggle sometimes with saying no (especially to hugs or kisses from family members). Can't wait for them to read this 😄

You're inspiring me to write my own book, too! :) Reading the sandbox quote in the acknowledgements of The Selfish Romantic really made me think. So thank you for that ☺️

Awww I must pass that onto my friend who was the one who told me that on a day I got very stuck mid first draft!
