I was hoping for something more memoir-like in which we get to read about real-life experiences (there are some scattered throughout the book), but this is actually a very technical self-help book. As such, I didn't find it that compelling. I also found the book quite repetitive but I know the intent is to drive home important points until it's ingrained in the reader.

Although a bit 'dry', this is an educational read filled with plenty of practical advice, tips and reflections. The book offers valuable insight into how to spot a narcissistic partner, the baiting methods and manipulation tactics that they use, setting healthy boundaries, shifting focus onto ourselves and more.

I was surprised at how well the author seems to be able to read my mind: e.g. "During the reading of this book so far, have you wondered or worried that you might be a narcissist at all?"

Yes! 😂 (According to the author, the fact that I'm a questioning myself is a good sign that I'm not one.)

Definitely a book that many people will find useful!

A considerate, thoughtful book on toxic relationships, with an emphasis on narcissism and how to identify and deal with that in relationships.

Such an informative book. It can be deep at times, depending on your history and need to read the book, but overall, I think we all could learn a little from reading this. Very interesting, helpful, and easy to read.

Can a book be "way to much"? Yes, because this was it. It had so much information, that it wasn't very helpful. I wanted to get into it, but it was spook much! To much for regular joe.

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

This book was very enlightening. I learned some narcissistic habits in myself to be more conscious of and in my partner and how to deal with them. This novel was very empowering and I feel it's a must read for anyone who has encountered a narcissist.

Never Again is a insightful book on toxic relationships and narcissistic people. We all deal with narcissistic people and this book has great information on how to deal with them.

This self-help book about how to heal from narcissistic relationships has been hugely helpful to me. There was tons of valuable information (including educational descriptions of narcissistic traits as well as how these manifest), and I appreciated the addition of first-person accounts so that the information was based on real experiences. I also appreciated that the book included several chapters on how to move on from these toxic relationships. The sections on trauma and tips on mindfulness, grounding, and different types of therapy felt up-to-date and detailed enough to actually provide assistance (unlike some self-help books that offer advice that feels impossible to do). My only complaint with this book is that there did seem to be a lot of repetition - while that can be helpful to drive a point home, it often just felt like a lack of strong editing. Overall, this book came at just the right time for me, so I'm grateful to Davies for writing it.

This book is helpful since narcissism is a common but unknown problem. The book gives several tips to strengthen resolve against a narcissist, namely, how to recognize one, realize you can't make sense of their actions, how to communicate with them, and emotional regulation techniques.

This is a book that can help everyone, since we all come across narcissists, although some more than others. Therefore I would recommend everyone read this.

Thank you for the ARC.

This book was deep, heavy and insightful. I didn't know how much I needed this book in my life. The only reason it wasn't a 5 star was because it was repetitive at times. I believe that everyone should read this book to know the signs of narcissism. It helped me come to so many realizations about past relationships. I had thought that I knew the signs, but there were so many more that I had missed and didn't realize the control that was still lingering, even now.

For anyone whose been in an abusive relationship with a narcissist this book is for you. It doesn't focus on the abuser it focuses on you and your healing. It is a beautiful book that shows you how to care for yourself and not repeat the pattern. I would highly recommend this book to those who are recovering from such abuse.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book free of charge. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

This book is aimed at those who are experiencing or have experienced a narcissistic relationship in their life. What I really like is that at the very start of the book it is made clear that whilst narcissism is the topic, the focus is NOT on the narcissistic but rather on the person reading on the book who is seeking to recover from said relationships.
This book is utterly fantastic. It really focuses on self-care, self-compassionate activities and creating a positive, healthy relationship with ourselves as part of the recovery journey. The author is clearly incredibly knowledgeable on the topic both through personal experience but also through professional work so the reader is in safe hands throughout the whole book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has experienced, or is currently experiencing, a narcissistic relationship in their life as well as recommending this book to anyone who is friends with someone with aforementioned experiences or who works with someone with aforementioned experiences.

The author wrote a gem of a book that will help those in toxic relationships, as it is written in a factual and non-judgmental manner.
