This book has been a huge help so far in my long distance relationship!
It covers most everything i could think of when it comes to handling a long distance relationship
I bought this book looking for advice, but the read is hard and doesn't offer anything in my opinion that one should already know. I wouldn't bother with this one, I actually just sent it to the recycler. It is one of those books that you just HAVE to put down, not the other way around.
My best friend gave me this book because my boyfriend is going away to work as a lifeguard this summer, and I am really nervous! But I think I'm a little more chill now that I've read Ms. Tiger's advice. Some of it is silly, but that's what makes her book fun. Some of it is serious advice about how to hold on to what you've got--and make sure he wants to hold on, too. We'll see what happens in September. But thank you, Ms. Tiger, for the help and advice!
This is really light, fluffy reading. It's also a rather small book, in terms of actual book size. It's humorous and pretty cute, and it might make a good read for an airplane trip to see your sweetheart, but it's rather low on the solid, practical advice. It's the kind of book you might give as a stocking stuffer to a friend in an LDR, but it doesn't have a lot to offer if you're looking for real relationship help. There are better LDR books available.
There are some good ideas and some fun things in this book, but overall I found that half of the book was really a waste of space (a list of LDRs in history? It could have been interesting but this author doesn't make it so). It seems to me that the author tries too hard to be funny and it becomes distracting. There are some good topics covered, but overall I'm not very impressed. It's not a BAD little book, but it's too pop-culturey to be taken seriously.
