Great Information (5.0)

This is THE book to get if you're struggling with an LDR (as the author references it) and want to know what you should be doing with your semi-independent life and how to stay in touch with your S.O. It gives understandable and practical advice on how often to visit, who does the traveling, and the author provides a system that you and your partner can go by. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is in an LDR.

Not bad!=) (4.0)

The book is written in a 'story-telling' and 'novel' style, making it a little bit long-winded at times. It makes you feel like you are reading a romance novel. But the book is interspersed with checklists, important things to discuss and tips and these are very handy. The abundance and variety of anecdotes also ensure that there's something for everyone and it's very likely you can find a situation illustrated that matches your own.

A good and useful read!=D

Not all it's cracked up to be! (2.0)

This book does not help those who have begun their relationship long distance. It has solutions for those who were together and then moved away from each other but all in all, the solutions provided are not very practical and many are just common sense.

A good guide for LDRs (4.0)

The best thing about this book is the fact that the authors use stories of other LDRs that most readers can relate to. The worst thing about this book is the fact that the distance between the LDRs don't really seem that extreme. My boyfriend and I live over 4,000 miles away from each other, so a lot of the things in this book didn't really apply to us. We can't make plans to see one another every other weekend, or every three weekends. We're lucky to see each other once every 4-6 months. Other than that, it was nice to be reminded that we are not alone, and the struggles we face every day aren't abnormal.

Amazing Tool (5.0)

This book is great if you're entering or considering a long-distance relationship. After several wonderful months with my boyfriend, we became long-distance when he went back to school over six hundred and fifty miles away. The best thing this book did was keep me from pulling my hair out with frustration. It validates the roller coaster of emotions one goes through when a loved on is so far away, so instead of freaking out about my insecurities and worries, I was able to ride it out because I knew it was all normal, and would pass.

This book also gave me some great ideas on keeping our relationship alive-- and deepening it!-- while we're apart. It covers the common pitfalls, cons, and even pros of LDRs as well. I wholeheartedly recommend this book! I can't say what it would do for those who have had successful LDRs already, since they probably learned through the same trial-and-error as the authors and their acquaintances, but it's a real gem for those who aren't in the know.
