You're not imagining it
“Co-parenting may be impossible for you if your ex is a narcissist. I've had some people feel guilty for not being able to successfully co-parent with their narc ex. So please don't feel bad about not co-parenting.”
Most co-parenting advice assumes both parents want the same thing.
Isabella wrote it after her own two-year toxic relationship, over five years, because she went looking for this book and could not find it. It does not open with tactics. It opens with grief, because that is where readers actually are.
Eight chapters, in the order recovery actually happens
“You can't win the war if you keep losing every battle. You need to wake up and step back into your life.”
“Isabella Francis provides a clear and compassionate roadmap out of the confusion. This book helps you name the manipulation you've experienced, which is the first step toward healing.”
“Francis writes with the empathy of someone who truly understands. This book is a lifeline for those asking, 'Why can't I just get over it?' It tackles the real pain points: the isolation, the grief, and the shattered trust.”

Questions people ask before buying
Isabella wrote this from inside her own two-year toxic relationship. The book does not start with tactics, it starts with grief and the after-effects of narcissistic abuse, because that is where most readers actually are when they pick it up.
It is built in three parts and eight chapters, each broken into short sections. You do not have to read it cover to cover. Open to the part that matches where you are today, whether that is grief, protecting your child, or rebuilding.
Most co-parenting advice assumes your ex will eventually cooperate. Chapter Six says plainly that co-parenting may be impossible with a narcissist, and covers when to choose parallel parenting instead. It is written for the situation you actually have.
No. The book addresses parents of either gender, and the reader reviews come from both. The situation it describes, an ex who will not negotiate in good faith, is not specific to one parent.
Not to get value from the book. The Companion Workbook adds healing prompts, reflection exercises, and strategies to work through on paper. If you tend to read and move on, the workbook is what makes it stick.
