The Asshole Pandemic by A.C. Koch is a self help guide to ID’ing, Deleting, and Healing from Toxic Relationships. Thanks to the workbook portion of this book, this book finished out at 2.5/5⭐️ overall.
At some points, I felt called out. Others, it was like I was reading bios of people I had dated…and married (then divorced). I’ve had this one in my TBR as long as I’ve had KU. Therefore, it was slightly disappointing that some of this felt redundant to other similar books I had read. It was even more frustrating because the author’s social media videos always feel as if they have more depth, more insight, & more emotion behind them. I get more out of those if you compare the two.

Finding a healthy relationship can feel as discouraging as trying to find Big Foot in the woods. Especially if you grew up in a toxic household, it can be really difficult to be able to identify red flags and what toxic looks like since that is what you were taught was "normal."
The Asshole Pandemic guides you through the process of figuring out what your needs are, how to set better boundaries, communication, and working through identifying red flags, so that you are better able to navigate through the dating world.
This is your moment to change your path. It's your time to no longer tolerate toxic people and take back the power they have stolen from you.

You cannot change someone. You cannot save someone. But you can choose to love yourself enough to make the right choices for yourself and choose who you will keep in your life and how long they will stay
I really liked this book and found the questions proposed very interesting.
