Customer Reviews

funny, smart, REAL book about men, women, and sex

Too many advice books talk down to the readers; not everybody is scared to find playfulness alongside of Plato. This is like hearing what youf best friend's older sister says about her boyfriends and sex: it's honest and funny and TRUE. Great supportive wedding book, esp, for those entering a second marriage.

Must read for women

This is a great book. The information in it is presented in an thoughtful and humorous way. This book made me really think about my expectations and preconceptions of marriage and men and where they came from. I have even gone back and read it a couple more times.
