The actress explained that the book speaks directly to women who have ever confused love with survival or stayed too long in situations because of loyalty.

According to her, it is also for women who have needed permission to choose themselves without feeling guilty.

“This book is for any woman who has ever confused love with survival. For any woman who has ever stayed too long because her heart was loyal. For any woman who has ever needed permission to choose herself without guilt,” she added.

She noted that the book does not shame women but instead awakens them, helping them stand differently and raise their standards.

Annie also encouraged her followers to support the author and warned readers not to pretend to be unaffected if the message hits home.

“And please don’t buy it and act as if nothing happened. If it hits you, admit it.”
