As most of you know from recent posts I have been anticipating reading Gina’s book for some time. She is a marvelous woman who truly cares about people with ADHD and the people who are related to us.

I knew her book would be good, but I had no idea what I would be getting into by reading through it. Much of it was like reading via a mirror into my soul and if you know Gina, she doesn’t mince words or try to be overly diplomatic (like some people I know = me).

Before I started read Gina’s book I joked with her about how thick it is, but I tell you what, once I opened it, I could not stop reading it. I am really tired at this point because I have not been able to fully sleep until I finished it and I know I will have to reread several parts.

Gina has written a book for the ages and I have never read any book as thorough, evaluating all the aspects of adult ADD/ADHD. She explains not only the common symptoms, but also the symptoms that show up in smaller groups of people with ADD. She tells us of how to train our brains and why. I really liked how she broke down each individual symptom and gives us rational easy to understand explanations for getting through and working through them. You finish reading this book and realize the truth and that truth is that you are not doomed, but you will be doomed if you don’t do something about it for yourself and your partner. She sees relationships as teams, both individuals having equal rolls to play while still remaining individuals with dreams, goals and desires.

For me, the most important part of this book is about seeking out the right therapist – how and why. I found this to be the most important part because therapy is what has helped me the most to overcome the past and learn copings skills for a better future. I really can’t wait to start working many of these strategies into my life. 

Gina, thank you so much for the gift of this book, it will be my most treasured companion (next to Joan) for a long time to come, you were right, it truly is a ‘one stop shop for information on adult ADHD’, but let me add that this book should not simply be considered for those who are in a relationship already. Even if you are single and seeking a companion, “Is it You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.?” is a must and will save you so much unnecessary heartache in the future and will help you with your daily life already. Trust me!
