Pretend advice about beauty, fashion and relationships for women who are pretending to care about that stuff. While other self-help books might tell you that something is wrong with you, this book is... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I recommend this book to anyone. I found this book by reading the author's blog, which is also hilarious. I bought a few copies and gave them to friends, who all loved it as well. In response to the review I just read titled "bogus reviews"- I would like to let you know that I do not know the author, nor did she "round up" my help for a review. I realize that some people do that, however this is a genuine review from someone who happened upon this book and felt the need to review it. Also, this book looks really cool with color illustrations and funny sidenotes throughout. I highly recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor.
The Best Book Ever!!!!

This book is hysterical, & by hysterical, I mean brutally honest and insightful. True, I'm not a woman, but as a gay man I think Wendy's advice translates perfectly. If you read only one book this year, read this one, then smack yourself in the head, you should read more. You're probably not going to meet Mr. Right anyway and at least you'll have read a book.
BRILLIANT!

Brilliant!! This is the perfect gift for a woman with a real sense of humor. Any harsh critic would love this book! I did, and then got one for all my friends. If you like the Daily Show, Sedaris, or laughing...this is it!
Guilty Pleasure

Okay, first let me say that my wife bought this book. Not me. But after suffering through the platitudes of all her self-help twaddle that has pushed my Tom Clancy novels off the bookcase, I thought I'd give this thing a chance. And it is actually hilarious. Imagine my embarrassment when she caught my laughing out loud at one of her dumb "women's books". Now I'm terrified that she's going to draft me for her book club and make me read Oprah's latest selection (What? Toni Morrison has ANOTHER book?). No, I'm ashamed to say that this pretty sharp satire, and you don't have to be a lady to get it. Good stuff.
Hilarious and depressing = depressilarious

I usually hate laughing, but this book made me laugh and cry at the same time. There is truth everywhere and when it's the funny kind of truth, it's the best kind of truth. Read it-- unless you're too scared in which case you should have someone else read it to you. Also I am a boy, so many parts of this book both confused and frightened me.
