Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Codependency

62/100
👎 Skip It
The hopeful, empowering tone and the 21-day transformation program give this book a practical shape that readers in painful relationships will find genuinely useful. But a 4.0 rating from only 46 reviews is a thin foundation, reviewers noted tangents away from the core topic, and the author's credentials are not publicly established — which matters more in the mental health self-help space than in most other genres. Readers dealing with codependency would be better served by more established titles with clinical backing.
