Drama Free: A Guide to Managing Unhealthy Family Relationships by Nedra Glover Tawwab

Nedra's Instagram content is great and I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, it didn'  quite meet my expectations. There was some helpful advice, but overall it lacked a cohesive throughline. The book read more like a collection of short form content.
