Great writing prompts but language could be less binary
This is so close to perfect. I really like how there's a limited space to writ each answer, which forces me to think it through before I write and get to the essence of what I'm saying. The paper's food for writing with a fountain pen and the size is big enough to be comfortable writing on.
There's on thing that would make it even better. The prompts often use "he" or "she" when they could use "they", which would give the writer more freedom about their writing.

Ok but I expected better
Bought these because they received favourable reviews online. The noise isolation isn't much better than the headphones that came with my iPhone, which is disappointing. I've tried various sizes of the little rubbery covers, but they tend to fall out my ears. The carry case is good though. I expected more for my £50 tbh.

Disappointingly exclusionary
2 of 3 found this helpful I should've guessed, given that Craven runs a DV service and these are so often run by SWERFs and TERFs. Whilst she begins the book with some token acknowledgments that DV can happen in same-sex relationships, the book overwhelmingly assumes the reader is a cishet woman. As I read I felt increasingly that it wasn't for me, to the point where I began to question whether what I had experienced was *really* domestic abuse -- I know it was, but wow, that was a tough horrible read -- and that's actively harmful to anyone who's face doesn't fit her narrow idea of what a DV survivor is.
All the illustrations are of white people. This is a problem because people of colour are so often excluded from discourse on DV and, as we've seen with how the assumption the audience is a cishet woman (I'm a bi nonbinary person) made me question my own experiences, excluding PoC in this way could harm them too.
Craven clearly hates sex workers and sees all pornography as violence. She also hates BDSM and thinks it's all DV -- another factor I found actively harmful to my recovery process.
There wasn't really much Earth-shatteringly useful I got from this book that I haven't found in other, less exclusionary resources. So whilst it's all collected in one handy book, if you're identity includes any kind of marginalised group, you may be better off looking elsewhere for help.
TL;DR, it's probably fine if you're a vanilla, abled, cishet white woman who has never done any sex work or even a bit of amateur porn, but if you're anything outside that box, this book might be dangerous for you, so please take care reading it.
