Incredible. Thank You
I devoured this audio book within 24 hours of it being released and I'm now going to save up and buy a paper copy so I can highlight some areas that resonated and gift one to my husband and a few friends who are struggling. I'm awaiting my diagnosis next month but I feel like this has been a few years worth of therapy in one engaging, funny, tear-jerking book. from two people who have done the hard work. thank you guys.

Honest open discussion about the reality of living with ADHD
Nicely presented. I enjoyed how each chapter had both Roxy and her husbands viewpoints. Loved the reframing. Great listen

Life changing
I found this book life changing and feel like I finally understand myself. Every chapter resonated with me and I feel so much calmer now. I am well on my way to being my best friend instead of my worst enemy. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

Everyone needs to read/listen to this book!
Even if you think you don’t know anyone with ADHD, you almost certainly do. *They may not know it themselves.
This book fosters understanding and encourages empathy and meaningful support. It makes sense and is delivered in a user friendly, easy to understand way.
Read the book, tell your friends. Let’s get the kindness message out there.

So Incredibly Powerful and Relatable
The generosity Rox and Rich brought in sharing their most painful experiences, so that others could relate and find community and solidarity. I think this is the most powerful healing tool for neurodivergent people that we have available to us today.

Wonderful book
This is a really authentic, kind and insightful book. The narration is by the authors and sounds more like a conversation than someone reading from a page. The authors are vulnerable but always seem to be thinking deeply about the impact on the reader. It is easy to listen to which is so important for such a big topic.

Thank you
Thank you thank you thank you, Rox & Rich. You really hit the proverbial ADHD nail on the head. I love the analogy of tending to the trees roots rather than trying to fix the blossoms. 😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

Right in the Feels
I can’t even word right now. I feel like someone just read my own biography to me - right down to losing my Mum to cancer and my problem with processing the grief.

Magnificently Accurate
This is the most accurate explanation of the constant commentary of the inner critic I have grown up listening to. You both have presented the difficult and raw reality of the LIES ADHD brains have to listen in such an empathetic and kind way. I cried literally from beginning to end because I felt so seen after years of feeling misunderstood. I loved that you included how to support someone you love with ADHD. I’ve listened twice and bought the book so that I can refer back to chapters when people ask me what it’s like in my head.
Absolutely bloody brilliant.

A Must-Read for Anyone with ADHD
Easily one of the most enjoyable books I've read about ADHD. As an adult recently diagnosed with ADHD, I found this book extremely relatable and it has helped me better accept my diagnosis without doubting it. The performance was excellent and felt authentic, and I appreciated the two complementary perspectives of Roxanne and Richard. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of ADHD.
