Book Review:

I have to be honest. I was completely sucked into reading this book just by viewing the authors’ photograph. Not only are they a cute couple, but they look genuinely happy. I knew they had something great to offer. 

Maude and Phil write in a relaxing way. You can feel how much they respect each other by their conversations. I took away some good material. I think this information is handy to use with family and friendships, too, not just romantic partners. I give this book four stars!
