Summary

A Sunday Times best seller

We’ve all been on promising dates that left us feeling worse in the long run, suffered from breakups we might have mishandled or stayed in relationships that should have worked but didn’t. So what are we missing?

Don’t panic! Toni Tone is here to give the big sister advice we all need: discovering what we want from a connection, flourishing through heartbreak and learning the vital importance of difficult conversations for growth and self-respect. Speaking from a place of experience and empathy, she talks through the value of intuition, asking questions and taking responsibility for the choices we make, offering practical, simple advice to improve any relationship and insight into our own behaviours.

From comfort zones and goal-setting to healthy boundaries and keeping yourself centred, Toni offers the loving, healing and authentic common sense lessons that aren’t so common.

It may just change your life.

Critic reviews

"Relatable and insightful…Tone’s approach could be characterised as crisp but kind, with a writing style that is eminently accessible and inclusive, providing just the kind of big-sisterly feel she originally aspired to."(Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller)

"This book is scarily accurate. There were so many times where I was adamant that Toni was talking specifically to and about me. I can see identical versions of my friends and I in every single lesson, there were so many points where I literally wanted to screenshot a whole page, send it to my friend and say "LOOOOOOOOOK IT'S YOU!” Spoiler alert: Everyone I know is getting a copy of this book for their next birthday." (Julie Adenuga, Broadcaster and Cultural Curator)

Excellent

This book was the right length to get the messages across without being boring, and narrated slowly enough to be able to take the points in and pause when reflection was needed. I am in my mid 50s and have been happily married for a long time but it was helpful to have a rethink about past relationships and why they failed. Very interesting read for all ages.

Great stuff from Toni Tone

It was short and sweet. Touch on some really good points. There were times I thought ‘hmmm that’s useful’ :)

If only I knew

The title says it all! Toni provides great insight into the different stages of loving and healing. It read/was heard like being given advice from loved ones without any judgement, just practical things we need to know and do. I am recently single (3 months) and no longer judging myself for wanting and missing, just aiming to walk through the emotions and come out happier in the other side.

Thankful

This is book I wish I had when I was 18. This is the book I’m thankful to have at 27. So many life lessons I’m thankful for Toni for writing this book.

Excellent Book

I wish I knew this earlier! Rightly so, because I found myself saying this at various points of the book. Toni tone explains complex concepts in such a simple and engaging way, which makes the book easy to follow and highly relatable. It definitely reassured me and made me feel like I wasn’t alone with the feelings I had in my early 20s. So many lessons in this book to take away into my late 20s, which has left me feeling more hopeful about my future relationships.
