review 1: Brilliant. This is by far the most impact any book in the much-loathed (by me) self-help genre. It's not that it has awakened me to a behavior change so much as it has given my perception of things a huge slap in the face - in a good way. This woman is no coddler. She dishes it straight. No Stuart Smalley here. This is a book to make women get over themselves and quit reckoning they're entitled to perfection. I already wrote a thanks to the author and bought a copy for a friend. I'm taking my library copy to another friend. This book is right on the money - brutally honest, but not pointing fingers. It's autobiographical. I admit, in addition to Gottlieb's no b.s. tone, I absolutely loved her remark in the acknowledgements that she had a philosophy of "no bullet... more points, no worksheets, and no pink." If I hadn't already been sold on her, that three for three was right on the money for me. Really, 4.5 stars. Give this to every woman (particularly the singles) who fancies themselves a princess, and that romance and relationship work is all up to the men.
review 2: This might be one of the best of the 'date/get married' books. What I thought would be a depressing book about settling for less turned out to be an encouraging and hopeful book that shows how a realistic approach to dating, love and marriage can get you exactly what you want. The author chronicles her own search for marriage while doing a lot of research on why the modern marriage isn't working, why it seems so hard for women to find someone, how women sabotage themselves out of perfectly good relationships that probably would have led to marriage. I expected not to like this book. However, the author isn't saying settle for anyone, but rather that good enough is more than enough, love/chemistry isn't always something that happens immediately but is built over time and that the superficials women always focus on like height, hair color, common interests won't matter down the road. Instead, women should focus on the qualities that will matter: character, values, personality, life goals and broaden the search to include men that you might have otherwise bypassed because even if they don't seem to be what you want on the surface, they might turn out to be exactly what you need. The book is very well-written, well researched. I couldn't put it down! Having read quite a few titles in this genre now, I'd pair this with "He's just not that into you". Together they cover the gamut and, in my opinion, are the only ones you need should you find yourself in this stage. less
