“Psychotherapist and relationship coach LaRusso, who is popular online, is an expert in the work of rebuilding oneself after infidelity, whether one is the victim or the perpetrator of betrayal…Her personal approach is driven home by the book’s consistent use of the second person (“you will feel this…”; “you will need to do this…”), adding to its intimacy. Her simple aphorisms—change is neither bad nor good, just a matter of difference; wisdom equals emotion plus logic—carry within them kernels of practical truth…Practical words for moving forward after experiencing infidelity.” —Library Journal
