Hilariously bad. I'm too much of a feminist to enjoy a book that pushes the idea that ALL men are a certain way and only desire a woman who is a certain way. I don't usually read dating/relationship books (this was a free book), but I was a bit surprised that a book written in 2013 feels decades older - though maybe this is pretty normal for the genre.

It's a funny, accurate, and bravely honest look at the characteristics and dynamics of successful relationships. I found that while some of the tips may be considered aged or outdated by some, the truth is that most of these attitudes and beliefs still persist-even though we don't want to admit it to ourselves as strong, independent women. As a reader you can choose to dismiss some of these insights altogether OR choose to acknowledge human failings and learn to work around them.
In response to another review I must say regarding #4 "Excuses and Limiting Beliefs" that the fact is that either person being too focused on their career can be the cause of problems within a relationship- the author isn't saying that you (as a woman) shouldn't have a career, but that in life you have to make room for what you want. If you have no time for a relationship, then you're unlikely to have a successful one regardless of whether you are male or female!
Overall, this is a fast, useful and entertaining read!

I wanted to be able to say something good about this book, but I'm just stuck. It's actually funny to read, because it's written from the mindset of someone from the 1950s. There's also a repetitiveness to it.
So I was hoping I could say something good about the ending: 5 most common obstacles to overcome to get a ring on it. Numbers 1-3 were reasonable, but then I got to #4 "Excuses and Limiting Beliefs" (loc 596). This is a list of FIFTY items that women need to change to be married. For example, item 1 is, "I am too focused on my career," while item 4 is, "I don't want to change my last name," among others. Why would either of these be a problem? It's basically reinforcing the barefoot and pregnant stereotype.
So, I'm surprised the author was able to take the time to put her socks on to write this book. While I enjoy reading about human relationships, this book is a manual form a half century ago. I don't know how this would help the modern woman.

Wow. Terrible.
You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I think the cover for this book says it all, stereotypical feminine pink book with wedding rings for antiquated stereotypical women. Trying to be positive, I think it was written for a younger woman than I, and I think this book would make an excellent drinking game.
