What People Are Saying

 "I've read a lot of self-help books during the course of my recovery, and a lot of them can very formal and clinical, and thus very intimidating. But reading this book is as easy as discussing your problems with an old friend. It's part of what makes it just so readable: I devoured this book in one sitting. Just to put that into perspective with my normal reading style, I have now been reading A Game of Thrones for two and a half years. The fact I read this book all in one go says a LOT about how wonderful it is."

- Ellie Miles, Blogger at "Life of Miles"
"The best way I can sum up The Anxious Girl’s Guide to Dating is this – it’s like serious girl power, but not just for girls. I know you’re probably reading this thinking ‘really, that was the best way you could have summed that up?’, but yes. It made me feel uplifted, stronger, and made me want to dance around my living room to the Spice Girls. But it’s just not just for us women, despite the title of the book."

- Lauren Hayley, Mental health blogger and advocate
"Hattie will make you realize that 1) you are not crazy, and 2) there are simple, totally not weird ways to tackle your anxiety and make the scary world of dating not only manageable but fun (what? is that possible?)"


- Anna Moore, Amazon Review
