The audio copy has allowed me to consume the book in my limited time, but the book is written with dry wit and a bit of sarcasm and the reader’s rendition makes it feel spiteful and mean toward the adhd partner. I found it was making me feel down about my situation, until I started imagining another voice.
The book is definitely intended for the non-adhd partner. I doubt someone with adhd could get very far into this audio version without feeling disrespected. It is good info so I stuck with it, but wish it was less snarky. The structure of quotes and callouts also make the flow awkward in audio.

Reader is too snarky and make it feel mean

Promotes understanding on both sides. Pam’s reading was appropriately sarcastic and entertaining but also conveyed the serious impact ADHD can have on couples trying to manage and survive.

Great book for Neurotypicals!

Very informative. I got the book because I suspect my spouse has ADD/ADHD, but now I think we both may have it. I’m in the process of being evaluated by a psychologist and hope my spouse will agree to be evaluated as well.

Informative

Very useful in encouraging me to take back control of my life.
I think people offended by the book mostly feel defensive/ guilty about learning what ADHD does to themselves and others.

Excellent content, an insightful book, however the reader diminished the reading experience. She often has a demeaning, shameful tone in her voice when referring to examples of AADHD. I would highly recommend re-recording with a different reader, especially as the majority of the readers likely, themselves, struggle with AADHD.
