Review

Caroline Hurry has done it again!

Like a siren call, she beckons readers into depths of ill-fated relationships that

crashed against rocks or were lost at sea.


'With mirth and merriment, we recognize the male archetypes from Boring Bert to Lothario Larry and

weep-laugh at the collective folly that had us climbing aboard these shipwrecks in the first place.


'There is a reason tears are salty. But then, Caroline Hurry's sparkling prose leads us into the crystal-clear waters of

relationship redemption. We emerge refreshed, steering our own ships, and singing the siren song in a harmonious chorus.

C'mon in, the water's fine.

- Yvonne Aileen, author of the Goddesses Trilogy


Five-star entertainment that hits home

A woman's book judging by the cover and series, Flow 21 secrets is, in fact, more of a gem full of insights for men.


You'll find none of the misogynistic fantasies beloved by dull dating books for men that typically recommend dubious gaslighting techniques to trick a woman into becoming dependent on them.


By contrast, Caroline Hurry's second book in her Hygge Queen series is a riot. You'll find yourself laughing out loud with relief that you are nothing like some of the dubious archetypes wittily summed up as rogue galleries.


By offering no-holds-barred descriptions of which men repel the kind of woman you'd want to attract - a lady-in-waiting, if not a queen - Flow 21 Secrets provides a perfect blueprint on what not to do.

David White, author of The Authority Figure

If only this book came out when I started dating, it would have saved me a lot of heartache and wasted time. But.... it is never too late. Seriously, if you're still looking for "the one" or not sure about your current relationship, this book is what you need. The advice is spot on and, as a bonus, delivered in the most delightful and humorous way.

After reading this book, I just purchased several copies to send to friends and family. I know it was meant for a woman, but I found this entertaining and laughed my head off because it was so engaging. I just kept turning the pages, and you will do the same. Flow is excellent with a nice glass of your favorite wine, especially after a breakup—a must-read before getting married. Find out what kind of man you have in your hands—perfect gift for my granddaughter. When you can’t call him a jerk, give her this book to read instead. It will do the job!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well, written, and perhaps helpful for women seeking new relationships
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
Verified Purchase
Let me start by saying I’m a guy, and this book is clearly written for women. Also, I’ve been happily married for decades so this book in no way is going to help me on the dating scene. That being said, I can see how this book might be helpful to women who have had bad relationships in the past men and don’t know why or how to avoid them in the future. If there’s anything missing from this book, I think it would be perhaps a little more inclusion of actual sane men who might be out there looking for a relationship with the same woman. In any case, the book is an interesting read.

If you’ve stumbled through one relationship after another with disappointing results. Take solace. This book provides insights into the various male personalities you may have encountered. Once you learn to recognize these unpleasant personas, you’ll be better armed to deal with them or simply go your own way. The author also paints a portrait of what you need to reach the peak of your potential.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Groundbreaking Approach to Relationships in "Flow"
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2023
Verified Purchase
"Flow" is a transformative read that subverts conventional wisdom on relationships. Rather than doling out rules or prescriptive guides, the book introduces the reader to the enigmatic Water Queen—a woman who embodies grace and magnetism without trying. The journey toward understanding her complex allure unfolds through intriguing archetypes like the Handmaiden and the Lady-In-Waiting, further enriching the narrative.

The book also serves as a guide to navigating a maze of toxic relationships by decoding behaviors of types like Aspie Axel, Gaslighter Gary, and Narcissist Nick. Among its most empowering features is its catalogue of 18 “catfish specimens,” which essentially acts as a crash course in spotting red flags, enabling you to avoid time-wasters.

However, what sets "Flow" apart is its focus on inner transformation and emotional literacy. It's not about changing others but about channeling a current of "hygge"—or abundant love—in oneself. You’re encouraged to dive deep into the river of self-awareness and self-love, thereby naturally attracting healthier relationships. The book is a toolkit for everything from repelling the unsuitable to revitalizing existing relationships and, most importantly, renovating one's own emotional landscape.

By the end of "Flow," you will not only be well-equipped to make waves in your relationships but also to find an inner peace that can withstand the rapids of rejection and setbacks. It’s less a rulebook and more a spiritual guide, aligning your external relationships by first nourishing the one you have with yourself.

If you're tired of the conventional, the formulaic, and the predictable in relationship advice, this book is your next must-read. It invites you to immerse yourself in the river of possibility, and by doing so, opens up a whole new landscape of love and self-understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars What to Avoid
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024

As an author of thriller novels, and as the father of a dating-age daughter, I was curious to see what I could learn from this author. The book "profiles" all sorts of marginal, sketchy male "types" to avoid: Jocks, Con-men, Moochers, Couch Potatoes, drunks, metrosexuals, narcissists, rednecks, druggies, abusers, predators, manipulators, know-it-alls, rebound rejects, etc. The unsurprising bottom line: Hold out until you find a man who can converse intelligently, has good manners, is respectful, and has a caring heart.

This book is humorous and informative at the same time. It's super helpful in recognizing the red flags in a relationship and identifying destructive patterns. It kept me engaged with the funny descriptions of the various men. Things will be clear when you're reading the book that you hadn't figured out when they happened in relationships. It's definitely helpful to learn not to make the same mistakes. A great book!

The writing style is humorous like a stand-up comedy yet the contents are spot-on about the types and characteristics of heart breakers and narcissistic behaviours. Same goes to the types and characteristics of women. The quiz is fun to do. Initially I was bit confused with the title and book cover, which still look like a fiction book to me. As I read on, I laughed and learned with amusement!

An entertaining insightful read. Although this book is written for women, men would learn a lot about women by reading it. I love the main lesson that the author is conveying, that personal fulfilment doesn't come from external rewards or materialistic pursuits but rather from engaging deeply with the tasks and activities that challenge us, push our boundaries, and provide a sense of accomplishment. Once you understand this principle you can seek out experiences that foster this state of flow, leading to increased happiness and satisfaction in life. I particularly loved the chapter about Red Flags. Such an enjoyable and interesting read!

A not-so-young woman (with dating intentions) must expect all variations of unconscious, deliberate and games with the gentlemen or non-gentlemen that would be the equivalent of a cabaret or comedy show. Really nice show! .... and yet it is about the reality we encounter, or at least how we perceive it. It is fun to read it!
