Boooooo! Okay, let me explain. I started this audiobook because I saw the author on tv, and was hoping that I could learn how to flirt (note: if you’re a man and you ever think I might be flirting with you - I promise, I’m not and I’m clueless you are thinking this). Anywho, this book blows. I’m not a fan of anything that tells people they are not okay just being themselves because who they are is wrong (aka make yourself more palatable to some dude that is likely too emotionally/mentally fragile and/or inferior to you). Oh and I will certainly never co-sign telling women to lower their standards. *rolls eyes* Yeah, eff that noise!
This book definitely wasn’t what I was looking for and I’m glad I borrowed it from the library vs purchasing it. As someone that has always been called ‘sweet’, (albeit, too nonchalant for men to know when I am truly in to them - hence, I need to learn how to flirt), the amount of times I either cringed or rolled my eyes during this book would make me what the author deems to be a b*tch.
