Signs a love reading is honest (and signs it isn't)

A quick field guide to spotting the difference between a reader who's telling you what you need to hear and one who's telling you what you want.

Honest readers use specific images and specific timelines. Vague reassurance — “he'll come around” — without a shape or a check-in date is a warning sign.

Honest readers also disagree with you sometimes. If everything you bring gets a green light, you're being sold to.

Ask them what you should do this week, not this year. A good reader can be specific in the near term.
