Sometimes the people who give the best advice are the worst at taking it.
Liv’s furious – but you’d never know. As morning TV’s go-to relationship therapist, she’s built herself a no-nonsense, easy-breezy reputation.
But when she’s caught on video having a tiramisu-fuelled meltdown, she goes viral for all the wrong reasons. Suddenly everyone knows that the woman whose mantra is ‘keep calm and carry a condom’ can’t keep her cool.
Her boss gives her an ultimatum: anger management or unemployment. It should be simple, just six sessions stand between Liv and her old life. The problem is her therapist, Edward, who's insufferably perceptive and, worse still . . . devastatingly hot.

Customer Reviews
Cringeworthy
Had high hopes for this but the main character, Liv, is arrogant, terrible at psychology and unlikeable. The author clearly did very little research into types of therapy or psychology. The therapist chat is unrealistic, misinformed and randomly references attachment styles in a simplistic way, whilst often getting them wrong. It makes Liv even less credible as an actual therapist, and ruined the actual fun of this book.
