I was just wondering what everyone thinks of this book. I haven't read it yet, but a friend it wanting me to read it, and I'd just like to know everyone's opinion.

I think it's hilarious. And I love the "sequel" It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken. I bought it for my SIL when she was dating a crack head that completely ignored her, wouldn't introduce her to anyone else he knew, and only called her when he was horny. They "broke up" for a short time but unfortunately she still didn't get it and is back with the guy, and is now inflicting him on her kids, but I did what I could. LOL. Some people will never get it.

Of course, I think most people are relationship retards and focus so much on what they WANT that they can't see what's really there.

Default Great Book

Hi ...I am new here...never thought my first post would be about this book!...

I love this book! It is so simple and yet has a big impact if one follows the premise.

I find that I no longer waste time and energy wondering....projecting, rationalizing, trying to manipulate the situation.

I just accept that either a man is into me and proceed, or he is not, wish him well and move on.

I think it has a positive message and I feel good when I read it.

Mary

I think some of its messages are oversimplified, but it is a fun and positive book, as is the sequel mentioned above.

I used to turn up my nose at this book, until I started reading a few pages of the One page per day version of the book, after having my heart broken and OBSESSING over a stupid guy that didn t deserve me or anyone for that matter!

It has some fluffy stuff, but the core of it is great!

Basically, it encourages women to stop obsessing about guys, to stop constantly overanalyzing guys attitudes and to realize that a guy who is really into you,will act accordingly.

I recommend this book to any woman who is frustrated with spending time and energy making excuses for jerks that never call, and dreaming up romantic fantasies that never materialize, because they kiss frogs that never transform into Prince Charming.

It is full of humor and is a great little book for someone with a broken heart who needs to smile and wise up, as well as every girl that is tired of sitting around with other females agonizing over some guy's behavior.

I just read this book for the second time earlier this week. It took me about an hour to get through it. The book is simplistic but helpful (and hilarious to boot!)

It's a great way to nurture a heartache and turn sadness into laughter. Us women are notorious for sitting in bad relationships and picking men's behavior apart. The bottom line, no man is worth that type of energy drain.

The premise of the book is, if he's that into you, he'll (consistently) show it!

Most woman really need to read this book. It was a huge relief to know I wasn't the only one wasting my life on analyzing a man who didn't really want to be with me. I borrowed the book on tape from the library, but should really buy it as a booster, since apparently I still need to read it again....

read it...definitely.

I've thought of buying it for various guy friends to "show" them how to behave in relationships if they ARE into a girl. Something there for everyone. lol
