review 1: It was just okay for me. I really didn't know where the book was going. Initially I thought that it was a classic comedian's collection of funny short stories. But then the author would change the tone and style of the book into a Q&A format. Then she would repeatedly quote another author... to the point where I thought the point of this book was to get us to buy and read that book. It had its good points, it had its funny points but all in all, it was just okay.
review 2: I would give this 1-1/2 stars. Some parts were OK and some were just plain bad. The chapters about her past boyfriends were pretty boring and basically a great big "um...why did you even consider dating this guy?" Some chapters were not necessary at all, such as a list of compatible astr... moreological signs and another listing aphrodisiacs. I also could have done without the chapter written as a letter from her vibrator.The chapters I did find some substance in were basically the ones about truly needing to love yourself before letting anyone else love you. Her conversations with a couples therapist and Bryon Katie were the only things that really made an impression on me. That and the story of her paramedic friend who walked into a house to find a man with a thawing fish stuck in his ass. People are weird. less

This book is part essay, part interviews with professionals, and part just Jenny giving sort-of advice. It was kind of one of those pointless books that didn't give me a whole lot of insight into Jenny. I am still glad that I read it though, because a few of the people interviewed have written books that I want to check out. It's a quick read, and there is some incite, just don't go into it expecting a whole lot. I wasn't really expecting it to be a self-help book or so preachy. I thought it would be more fun.

Jenny McCarthy has written great books. Belly Laughs is a must read for moms. And I was hoping this one would follow the same formula. While her stories and perspective of love, lust, and faking it were at times insightful or hysterical the advice in between fell flat. I enjoyed the story of her Playboy audition and some of her very bad dates, but non-Jenny fans probably won't appreciate this one as much.

Eh, it was a Jenny McCarthy book with little substance and not much humor. Quick beach read.

Not nearly as funny as Chelsea Handler.
