Reviews

"Supersonic advice for creating love across the aisle!" —E. Jean Carroll, Elle advice columnist and author of What Do We Need Men For?

"Jeanne Safer and I have hated each other's politics for over forty years, but we still love each other, so she must know what she is talking about." —Richard Brookhiser, senior fellow, National Review Institute

"This insightful, well-reasoned book will help readers negotiate the political differences in their relationships with the people they love most." —Publishers Weekly Review

"Safer offers rules of engagement for mixed-viewpoint commingling that prioritize respect and care. What makes Safer, a vocal liberal, so qualified? Her decades-long career exploring the mind, and an equally lengthy marriage to a staunchly conservative commentator." —Courtney Eathorne, Booklist Review
