Lesbian Love Addiction: Understanding the Urge to Merge and How to Heal When Things go Wrong

It was okay. It was mildly enlightening, but there are several typos and it isn't very well written. Surely the author meant to write butch lesbian instead of bit** lesbian...twice. I did like some of the suggestions for sober(cautious) dating, but it comes at the very end of the book. Luckily it isn't a long read.

Ms. Costine knows her audience. It is so refreshing to read a book on this subject from a lesbian perspective. I saw a lot of my own behaviors illustrated here and I was grateful for the info she provided about SLAA. As a queer woman I have hesitated to try SLAA, fearing I might not fit in. After reading this book I now feel motivated to give it a go.The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because it badly needs editing. There are problems with spelling, grammar, and sentence structure throughout which are distracting to the reader. These issues aside, I highly recommend this book to any woman who dates women. It will help you rethink your relationships and your motivations.

This is a great book to help guide anyone struggling with lesbian love addiction. Being a straight Marriage and Family therapist, I read many books on healing so that I can find books that I think will help clients I am working with improve their lives and their relationships. Dr. Costine's book is a must read. Her warm, empathic and nonjudgmental approach invites the reader to explore their painful relationship cycles in a compassionate way. She shares invaluable knowledge about how attachment issues and trauma contribute to the love addicted relationship cycle. She then provides important guidance about HOW to heal your addiction. I highly recommend you read this book if you find yourself in unhealthy relationship cyles. You may not even realize you are a love addict until after you read this book...so just read it and by the end you will know if you suffer from love addicted relationships and you will have a road map guiding you towards your healing.

Love book. Thank u .

This book was a great healing tool for me. It was not recommended to me because I am a love addict but so I could better understand why my fiancé was so quick to cheat and leave.

I needed this, thank you for sharing the stories. I will refer to it over and over. It was extremely helpful

It’s an interesting book.

This book was super helpful. Would recommend to any lesbo! Insightful and explains a LOT about why my love life was so disastrous for so long :-/

Lesbian Love Addiction lacks good writerly prose! It’s too bad also that the book was not fully edited.... The mistakes were bizarre and really did detract from my enjoying the book.
