“At My Limit is a wonderfully honest and refreshing look at something we can never talk enough about: shopping as addiction. Like alcohol, it is easy to hide, even easier to justify but can lead to dire consequences. This is a book about self-awareness and pushing through to what really matters.”
— Stacy London, stylist and TV personality, founder of by Stacy London on QVC, co-host of What Not to Wear and Why'd They Wear THAT?
“A funny yet brutally honest memoir about the addiction nobody takes seriously—until it nearly costs you everything. Raw, witty, and generous, At My Limit will make you feel seen, understood, and a little less alone on your recovery journey.”
— Paige Pritchard, Founder of Overcoming Overspending
“Anyone who has ordered online during lunch, shopped before 9 a.m., or forgotten what they purchased on their phone just two days ago will find recognition and relief in At My Limit. Fleischer’s honesty reminds readers that asking for help is an act of strength. Compulsive shopping may have shaped her past, but it will not define her future. Powerful and deeply compassionate, At My Limit transforms shopaholic shame into hope and understanding, one brutally honest chapter at a time.”
— CANREADS Book Review
“A dark, riveting journey into shopping and fashion addiction—the poison of modern marketing, the crushing weight of debt, and the hard truth that the Gucci bag is never the answer.”
— Paco Underhill, author of Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping
“Dara Fleischer knows firsthand how important it is to find other people who understand your experiences, especially when they feel unique or shameful. Her book is a gift to anyone who's struggled alone and in silence with their shopping.”
— Carla Sosenko, journalist and author of I'll Look So Hot in a Coffin
“Compulsive shopping is one of the most socially acceptable addictions—and one of the least talked about. In a culture built on clicks, carts, and comparison, many women are quietly struggling while looking perfectly ‘put together.’ This memoir names what so many experience but rarely admit.”
— Hannah Blass, Founder of The Shopping Shift, @TheStyleAudit
“At My Limit is so much more than a memoir about compulsive shopping—it’s a brave, deeply honest look at the emotional weight we carry and the ways we search for worth in all the wrong places. Dara’s vulnerability, wit, and willingness to tell the truth make this a powerful story of addiction, self-awareness, and hope. Every woman who’s ever believed ‘this one purchase will finally make me feel enough’ will see a piece of herself in these pages.”
— Alison Lumbatis, Founder of Outfit Formulas
“At My Limit is funny, vulnerable, and unflinching in a way only someone who's actually lived it could write. My dear friend Dara doesn't just tell you what it felt like in the thick of it—she takes you all the way to the other side, with humor and hard-won grace. This book is proof that the story doesn't have to end in shame. Bravo Dara!”
— Dawna Koby, Co-Founder, REDGEM Jewelry
“Watching my friend Dara bravely pull back the curtain on her own struggles made me realize how desperately we need this book. It strips away the punchlines of ‘retail therapy’ to expose the real, human cost of shopping addiction. This book is a lifeline for anyone secretly drowning in delivery boxes and shame. It’s an honest and ultimately triumphant guide to finding worth outside of shopping.”
— Jennifer Rosenberg, Founder of Jennifer Reed Designs, @jenniferreeddesigns
“It’s time to wake up to the addiction happening in plain sight. Dara bravely highlights the struggle millions face with compulsive buying, as they seek hope, peace, and lasting change.”
