Who Deserves Your Love

Sensible and practical, Who Deserves Your Love brings the authoritative yet gentle approach that made How to Keep House While Drowning a perennial bestseller, to the universal desire for healthy and workable relationships, whether romantic, familial, or platonic.

Is love conditional? How do you navigate a relationship where someone’s best efforts are hurting you? When should you step away? These are some of the questions therapists and TikTok sensation KC Davis explores in Who Deserves Your Love. In writing that is both plainspoken and powerful, she explains how vulnerability, trauma, and personal history can be both the cause of and the solution to relationship struggles.

KC offers explicit tools, including a priceless Decision Tree, to help you distinguish mistreatment from abuse, define your own values, and emotionally regulate in difficult situations. Her guidance will guide you to determine who deserves your time and love and who may not. With radical honesty, she covers key topics foundational to designing expansive and protective boundaries and making relationship decisions. Key topics include:

-Why conflict is intimacy

-Why the backbone to any relationship is the small moments

-How to get healthy around your vulnerabilities—and how to avoid the trap of the “vulnerability cycle”

-How to establish basic standards in a relationship

-When to make value-based decisions in a relationship

Who Deserves Your Love is practical and compassionate, written in short bursts of clarity and filled with visual tools such as lists and diagrams, as well as KC’s powerful “morally neutral” approach. The writing style is suited for those with ADHD, depression, or anyone who appreciates expertise without being overwhelmed by lengthy descriptions.
