Initially, she struggled to understand the roots of her insecurities. However, as she develops a greater understanding of herself, McCabe has learned to not only heal, but to build upon her unique strengths. By offering a self-love roadmap to readers through \u003cem\u003eThe Red Flags I've (Repeatedly) Ignored\u003c\/em\u003e, she hopes to inspire others to do the same.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcCabe eventually learns that to first enjoy the comforting embrace of a romantic lover, you must first embrace your own true self.

Framed within the space of working with a therapist, various red flags that (in her case) were exhibited by men are analyzed through her rationalizing, ignoring or sometimes heeding of these signs. As a reader, this breakdown is entertaining and educational. It is easy to empathize with her as protagonist and to hope that she learns from these experiences as the book progresses. The book comes with trigger warnings for sexual content and stories of abuse. Even though many of the stories are extremely explicit, McCabe shares these sexual coming-of-age experiences in order to reevaluate undesirable situations, not for the purpose of erotica. In this way, her stories are very powerful and bring to mind \u003cem\u003eThe Vagina Monologues\u003c\/em\u003e or some of the writing in my other posts on recent feminist texts.\" - \u003cstrong\u003eLindsey M.
