review 1: Ok so, Reads for a teenager, undermines intelligence, invokes gameplay, with one goal in mind: win an engagement ring. There's more to life than dating or going from next to next. Most important is making sure you want to marry for the right reasons. If you want to know how to be chased, read this book. If you need a refresher in (some) class, alright. Biggest redeeming theme in this book is to NOT Initiate any relationships with men out of boredom or pursue something and create a false relationship that wouldn't have occurred otherwise. It's fun enough to go through while sunbathing, though and may read well for young girls who want to navigate dating waters smartly. Minus the cleavage and sleeping around.
review 2: So, I have a confession to make. I love rea
... moreding relationship books. Since the "perfect" relationship continues to allude me, I'm always searching for some tips. I enjoyed the first edition of The Rules so I was pretty confident that I would like this one. I think this one is better because in addition to giving dating tips it also focuses on self-worth tips. I love the premise of letting things happen and not making things happen. While it can be lonely at times and take a ridiculous amount of discipline to not text or call first, I found these tips helpful in guarding my heart. I can't count how many times I've made relationships happen then when things don't work out after 2, 3 or 4 years, I look back in agony beating myself up for wasting my time. So if you are looking for some practical ways to be still and let things happen by weeding out those guys who aren't meant for you, then I highly recommend it. For those of you who feel like these types of books are silly, then you probably don't need them and will not find the information useful. less

Read it for a book club...not something I'll venture into again. No idea why I even bothered.

Nothing revolutionary here. I might read the original for giggles.
