I'm glad I read this book, I suppose, but I can't really recommend it to others...
Her information on communication and several other topics are helpful, but her suggestion to date multiple people at the same time is just asking for trouble! Also, at one point, she lays out a plan to trick your boyfriend or girlfriend into marrying you by beginning to date other people!!!! Seriously, that's just stupid. If you're ready to marry someone, you should NOT be dating other people.
Overall, the book is laid out decently and contains some helpful tips, but I'm sure I could find a MUCH better relationship guide if I tried. I'd pass on this one if I could...
