“I can't believe how absolutely amazing this book was!
In an attempt to expand my horizons a bit (I don't normally go for non-fiction, especially not a textbook-style book), I searched for books on long-distance relationships in hopes of learning a bit. I'm currently in one, and I'm always open to improving in any areas that I can (communication, virtual dates, etc), so I'm constantly doing research. So, I thought, why not read a book about it?
This book was published in 2006, so some things don't apply today (it mentions long-distance phone calls and high phone bills several times), but in general, I found this to be very, very informative. Some things I already knew or already learned, some things made me go, "I never thought of it like that," or, "I really should work on that."
I wish I'd enjoyed reading this type of thing when I was in school, given how quickly I cruised through this one. For anyone in a long-distance relationship, it's a great, light, informative read. I'm glad I found this.”
