Back in the summer of , Natalie Lue was a single advertising executive wondering out loud on her blog why she had a penchant for unavailable men.

Using her site, BaggageReclaim. This book was, for me, the streaming verbalization of the momentary realizations that passed through my mind many times through my focus on self discovery. No, she's not a scientist, nor does she claim to be. This isn't some scientific study on why some people end up in crappy relationships. This is a streaming reminder that your life is your main focus, that you can actually be the problem, but that it's part of learning how to bring happiness to yourself. I'm fortunate to live a life that is dictated by my own wishes and wants, and listening to this book solidified how fortunate I am to have the opportunity to look for, and want, and only accept quality.

There are many wolves in sheep clothing, but being the one to try to shave it off is a waste of time. Take the book for what it is - a reminder to you in a time when you may be struggling like I am to assert your self esteem and be ok with having that power. I'm a fixer. If you're a fixer, just try it, you can always return it, but personally, I already know I will be listening to this the second I fall back into my cycle of self sabotage.

Thank you Natalie for just being honest and realistic, and not a male basher. If you're even looking at this review, answer is yes, definitely buy the book. It is fantastic! More amazingness than I can even begin to tell you. I will listen to this book on repeat until I get Mr Unavailable out of my head and until I fix what's broken in myself.

I have always attracted unavailable men. I know I'm also emotionally unavailable, mainly from all the pain I have experienced from these kind of men. This book is so motivational, I'm going to listen to it again.

Anytime I fall off the wagon or feel weak, I will listen to this book. What an eye-opener. Lucy has zero tolerance with the human condition! But I loved it! You can't help but find your behavior and the behaviors of the men you surround yourself with. This book pulled my head out of my ass.

I will listen to this numerous times. I came to this book with pretty good knowledge that I was a fall back girl and it was my own responsibility and in order to move to healthy relationships I needed more information. This book definitely helped me erase any of my inner flip-flopping or desire to distract myself from the reality of things by trying to fix others or buffer or be buffered.

I need to go back through it one more time and peel out the reconstruction of life parts. The descriptions over-layered for me and my experiences and that was reassuring creating a readiness to deepen my self esteem and use my fix-it energies in healthy ways that don't include relationship.

I'm sure a healthy relationship is work of it's own but I can imagine with two people having the same goal and skills it's got to be easier and less drama and chaos filled than what I've done so far. The performance was good I just took a while to acclimate to the accent and I wish I'd known the cultural references weren't American.

It's all good, it just takes an inner moment of conversion and with so much covered that effects me deeply I feel I'll need to go through it again and take notes.

I think this would have been a better book to buy a physical copy. It felt like there were so many lists and bullet points but the information was all so similar it was hard to disseminate her points. The bulk of the book is repetitive and the helpful last chapter is full of brief listing of helpful ideas.

The final chapter should have been more extensive and detailed making up the bulk of the book instead. The narration is of good quality. I knew instinctively that I was this fallback girl that Natalie writes about in this book. It was validated here. Just knowing that I was not alone on the journey brought me comfort and an assurance that I too could win again in my relationships.

This is a very good book, it explains all the mistakes and attempts we women make when we are in love with Mr Unavailable and with Mr Available as well. The book is indeed repetitive but I particularly liked the repetition of the concept of why we fall for Mr Unavailable so by the end of the listening we do get the concept.

I just broke up with a guy n this book could not have come at a better time. All single women have to read this book. Though very repetitive, I needed to hear the repetition to stop me from crawling back to him. It helped to listen to this book daily. N though u might think there is nothing more to learn after a few chapters, trust me, more n more light bulb moments will occur!

This book is A must-read for every woman because it will protec Empowering,intense and No bullshit guide to get over unavailable guys. This book is A must-read for every woman because it will protect you from falling for assholes ,players and any unavailable guy out there. Mr Unavailable is not about permanency and building a relationship, so you both want different things. Blaming yourself and trying to love him to death so that he sees how wonderful you are is a total waste of your time and a serious depletion of your self-esteem resources.

Take the focus off him and bring it back to you. From the moment that I was feeling bad - negative, uneasy, wary, scared, distrusting, etc, I knew that it was time for me to sit down and have a calm, rational, self-discussion and evaluate the situation. Feeling bad in itself became it's own early warning system. Understand code red and amber behaviour. End unavailable relationships and cut ties. Define and maintain boundaries. Break your pattern.

A definite must read book for all women! This book changed my perspective on so many things in my life, including my pending divorce.

Fantastic book, and a life and self-esteem saver! Gosh,gut-wrenching read!! Author has done great work putting down words as nearly to real world as possible. Nothing bullshit, each chapter is full of Epiphany Moments. Sep 30, Chantel rated it it was amazing. I stumbled upon Natalie's blog site, watched a few of her videos, and liked her angle enough to buy her first book! If you do choose to read this book I urge you to watch a video or two of hers first so you can envision her posh london accent and punchy sarcastic wit talking to you!

It tells you the truth about the choices that WE make when we go after a relationship. It's about the facts that you don't want to consider or are running away from blindly.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the heat I stumbled upon Natalie's blog site, watched a few of her videos, and liked her angle enough to buy her first book! Sometimes we get so caught up in the heated pursuit of the chase Yes, women do just like men , that we ignore lack of care or compatibility in efforts of seeking validation and avoiding rejection. If you are someone who tends to get emotionally wrapped up in the wrong relationships and find it hard to untangle yourself after, this read will be a wake up call for you.

This book is Cruel to be Kind. Sure wish I had been taught this in Jr. High school. May 04, Lisa rated it it was amazing. Sounds like the most dysfunctional superhero team ever.

May 09, Michelle rated it it was amazing. Should be required reading for all high school girls before they get out into the dating world. One of my favorite books ever. Despite some grammatical and syntax mistakes the book reads like a rough draft at times which is why I knocked off a star , this book really cut through a lot of the dating and relationship insanity we engage in and made me rethink my own dating habits and past experiences.

Wish I would have read this earlier in my life. Highly recommended. Feb 15, Abi Jones rated it it was amazing. This book is an absolutely beautiful slap in the face. I will definitely be quoting this book in advice to friends in the future. Overall, I absolutely loved it and it will shape the way I behave in future relationships.

Dec 16, Bianca A. The main topic of this book makes me feel very nostalgic, as I too used to be in this category of women right up until I finished college. After several successful books that took off due to her blog - equally as if not more The main topic of this book makes me feel very nostalgic, as I too used to be in this category of women right up until I finished college.

After several successful books that took off due to her blog - equally as if not more shady than the book content and her background story - we find ourselves at the present book. I personally do not take advice to heart unless it comes from someone who has a degree in psychology or psychiatry, someone who studies behavior and the brain for a living. But I do understand how this book can be 'comforting', especially if the scenario matches something familiar you've been through.

However, beware this kind of content - the one that's after your buck, in exchange for "help that ultimately is up to you, anyway". You'll end up ripped off and still with the same bad or simply imperfect habits or undesirable personality traits. If you've got the kind of money to spend on this kind of books and "courses" and if you think what you're going through is due to your behavior and attitude which is affecting your life negatively, then it's time to search for an actual psychologist that is compatible with you and can offer professional help.

Don't latch yourself onto these mainstream gurus. Maybe buy a book on beginner level behavioral psychology instead or something if you feel professional sessions are too expensive.

Unfortunately the medium through which information gets delivered here is a key element. Sadly the people that need the most help aren't in a position that they can get it from books or professionals, so I can understand where a market gets created for people such as the author of this book. A market of the gullible and exploitable. There are many solid, great books on relationships and how to navigate them in a healthy way, but sadly this one and the other books this author conceived are not it.

Jul 26, Nicole G. Some solid advice here. Unavailable does not mean, necessarily, that the person you are after is not physically present. Unavailability can also stretch to emotional, as well.

The book could have been a little shorter, however, as some of the middle part, with the descriptions of the various types of Mr. Unavailables, seemed redundant. In addition, this book did not appear to have had a proofreader. Poor grammar abounds - especially mistaking plurals for possessives, which is a personal peeve of Some solid advice here. Poor grammar abounds - especially mistaking plurals for possessives, which is a personal peeve of mine.

However, if you notice a pattern to your relationships, and they are all fraught with various issues, then you are part of the problem.

You are the fallback girl. And until you learn this and how to fix it, you will continue to have unsatisfying relationships. I don't know if the writer channeled this book, if she has been in therapy since birth or if it's just plain ole wisdom.

This book is "spot on" Forces you to look at yourself and your issues that maybe you're I'm not ready to confront. It's a wordy book, lotsa words It's a good - honest - necessary read for someone like me. Definitely not a read-once and throw to the back of the closet book. This book will be a refer I don't know if the writer channeled this book, if she has been in therapy since birth or if it's just plain ole wisdom.

This book will be a reference for me - a reminder - a mini course if you will, if I ever backslide. Nov 25, Kendra rated it it was amazing. When you do see each other, they tend to choose what you do — usually an activity that aligns with their typical routine. Or maybe they ask you to help them out around the house. They enjoy spending time with you, certainly, when it works for them. Maybe they take days to reply to messages or ignore some messages entirely, especially meaningful ones.

Emotional unavailability can involve commitment and intimacy fears. As long as you keep dating casually, things go pretty well. But when you try to build a deeper commitment, they draw back. Usually, though, someone who says these things means them. In the beginning of the relationship, they openly share vulnerabilities or say how much they enjoy spending time together.

But things never get serious. You might believe they just need to find the right person. If you can reach them when no one else can, your relationship has the potential to last, right? You just have to try a little harder. Do they express their feelings uniquely? Not keeping commitments or consistently showing up late is a subtle way to keep someone at a distance.

But they may care more about what they want and have trouble restructuring their life to fit you into it. You may not fully realize how it shows up in your relationships. Last week, you made plans for a date tomorrow.

You felt excited then, but now giving up your free time is the last thing you want to do. If you end up canceling plans with your partner more often than not, however, ask yourself why you feel the need to avoid spending too much time together. But instead of having a discussion with your current partner about relationship goals like long-term commitment or exclusivity, you continue swiping, going on dates, and generally keeping your eyes open for greener pastures.

But this mindset can limit your ability to dedicate time and energy to someone you already care for. In a healthy relationship , partners balance individual needs with their romantic commitment.

It may take some time and exploration to learn how to do this in a way that feels right for you. If someone betrayed your trust in the past, you might avoid exposing your vulnerabilities to anyone else. You might prefer to keep your emotions and thoughts locked down so no one can use them against you.

A number of factors can contribute to emotional unavailability. Childhood attachment to primary caregivers can play a significant part in emotional unavailability.

As an adult, your attachment to romantic partners might follow this pattern and tend toward avoidant.
