Excellent Book for Single Women 18-40
By Sexy Cimone from Fairfield, Califiornia on 2/6/2008
Pros:
Deserves Multiple Readings, Informative, Page-Turner, Well Written
Best Uses:
Gift, Travel Reading
Describe Yourself:
Everyday Reader
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The book is advice question and answer format, divided by very specific chapters addressing issues such as women with low self esteem ("I Hate Myself, But I Love You!"), or the need to be realistic about the fact that a man who is a game player will STAY ONE, no matter how much you love him ("Leopards Don't Change Their Spots"). The author has a biting wit, is funny as hell, and tells the readers EXACTLY how bad they are messing up. I read it on a plane flight to Europe and laughed like a fool the entire time. Great book! One you can go back to as new issues come up in your own relationship. I understand it was selected recently as one of the Best Black Books of 2007. But its not "a black book" because the issues covered effect singles of all races and ages. Highly recommended. Oh, and its NOT out of stock by the way. You can order it from Booksurge, the company that printed it. I got my copy there.
