Publisher's Synopsis

Do you have an uncanny ability to attract toxic partners?

Are you forever finding yourself trapped in confidence-corroding relationships?


After more than a decade tumbling from one controlling partner to another, comedian Maddy Anholt was finally able to break the cycle. Here, she shares everything she's learned about how to spot warning signs, recognize controlling traits and find the strength you need to break free.

Now with a foreword from Maddy's fellow Women's Aid ambassador, bestselling author Holly Bourne, Red Flags will help you to understand why you keep repeating patterns in relationships - romantic or otherwise - and encourage you to explore concepts such as co-dependency, love bombing and gaslighting. Complete with its very own 'Psychometer' and full of the bitesized psychology she learned the hard way, this darkly funny, accessible and practical book has all the resources you need to check out of heartbreak hotel forever.

Maddy Anholt tragically died from a rare form of brain cancer in 2023. This book is her legacy.

Previously published in hardback as How to Leave your Psychopath.
