You called it love, but it felt like a matter of survival.
You kept making excuses.
You silenced your gut.
You clung to chaos, hoping it would turn into calm.
But deep down, you knew: this wasn’t love. It was emotional warfare wrapped in sweet words and temporary highs.
Stop Romanticizing the Red Flags is the brutally honest, deeply healing book you didn’t know you needed.
Written for the overthinkers, over-givers, and over-stayers — this book explores the emotional drama we confuse for intimacy, the ego traps we fall into, and why we keep calling pain "passion."
Inside, you’ll find:
20 raw, relatable chapters that hit hard
Stories that will make you cry, laugh, reflect — and finally see clearly
Powerful insights into emotional addiction, trauma bonds, ego games, and self-sabotage
Journal prompts and healing takeaways for every chapter
This isn’t just a book.
It’s a reality check, a therapy session, and a warm hug all in one.
If you're done accepting breadcrumbs, doubting your worth, or mistaking toxicity for love — it’s time to break the cycle.
Because love should never feel like walking on eggshells.
