Great for surviving divorce and starting over
As a divorced woman, I have been around awhile and have my own observations about life. So I was pleasantly surprised when I read this book. It truly is a book for anyone who has ever been in a relationship or who ever wants to be. Reading Dr. Kate's communication, marriage and divorce chapters brought back memories of life with my ex, and I was able to better understand what happened between us and why. I loved the communication and compatibility quizzes, and her techniques for how to grieve more efficiently. There's even a chapter on Happiness and Relationships and another on Starting Over. I wish I had read this book when I was first divorced -- I could have saved myself a lot of grief! If anyone wants to find and keep a good relationship, or if you're trying to survive a breakup or divorce, this is the book for you!S. Domino, Oakbrook, IL

Something for Everyone!
THIS BOOK HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE! Whether you have a mate or not, you can learn from the experiences of others and Dr. Kate's wisdom. While this book targets the "love cycles," many of the lessons learned can be applied to all relationships. For example, the chapter entitled, "Communication" is full of excellent principles that are useful for communication between all people. Likewise, the "Happiness & Relationships" chapter is a beneficial lesson on life in general. This book speaks to every stage of adult relationships and more.It is evident that Dr. Kate herself has applied the skills of communication to her practice and her AOL column! The book is written in an easy-to-read style and language that everyone can understand, and demonstrates that she has a keen understanding and acute awareness of the various stages of relationships. I recommend this book for EVERYONE.

REALISTIC ADVICE FROM A REAL EXPERT!
This book is very informative and useful. I have certainly been in and out of relationships, and I enjoyed Dr. Kate's concept of The Love Cycle -- a series of relationship stages we go in and out of over our lifetime. Thinking about my relationships in that way was very helpful. This book is really a primer -- outlining the basics for how to enjoy every relationship stage -- from finding someone, to making the relationship work, to solving the problems, and if necessary, to starting over again. Dr. Kate's insights are realistic and refreshing. She is a psychologist-matchmaker with a fascinating background, and she certainly has a wealth of knowledge to pass on to us. Yet her cheerful, supportive and straightforward style makes the book easy to digest, and her practical tips are easy to read and remember. It's obvious that Dr. Kate knows what she's talking about, and I enjoyed learning from her. In my opinion, this book is great for everyone. A+++
