Won this from the GoodReads giveaway, and although it's not something I would normally find myself reading, I will admit it I did enjoy it, and even found it helped a bit in my current relationship (He's a Prince btw).

She briefly touches on a few things most dating books would shy away from, especially ones aimed at younger women, although I wish she had actually said a bit more on those subjects. For example, long distance relationships. Since this book is mostly aimed at college bound women, the possibility of partners being at different schools might be an issue. And devoting maybe 2 pages to that, kinda sucks.

Either way, a good read for people in/out of relationships. I'd even suggest it to someone who's not in the considered "age range" as it's not your typical "save yourself for marriage"/be a good girl" type dating manual. It's definitely a bit more realistic.

It could very well be applied to same sex relationships as well, as it's mostly about having respect for yourself, and know what you want/need in a relationship and giving you tools to to determine if you are.

Only real complaint, I felt it was a bit too "girly".

**Received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads** Interesting idea for a book and how to try and assist young women in relationships in figuring out if the guy is a Frog or Prince (hence the name of the book). Personally, I liked the book I Kissed Dating Good-bye by Joshua Harris as it has better morals.

I think the beginning and end chapters were well explained just the later chapters were a little too confusing (needs simplication in the words/tables) or just present it in a different manner.

But underlining themes where today's woman needs to know herself, her goals/needs and not to lower her "bar" to allow Frogs in, but keep them out and work on getting her Prince.

This book will help many young teens (including my young sister-in-law) with dating. It helps teach teens to learn what they want out of a relationship and how to pick the better person to share their life with. Jane has given teens the power to recognize and utilize their knowledge in the dating chapter of life.

I had a friend tell me about this book and how much she loved it so I had to give it a read. She gave me her copy and once I got it I couldn't put it down, it is written as a book to help girls find their 'prince' but I also found it entertaining.

I felt like the author was writing about my life, in reading the book I realized I had dated a few frogs without even realizing it. I feel better prepared for the future in my judgement in relationships.

Excellent book that I have recommended to all of my friends, it is very entertaining and helpful to a girl of any age, and maybe to some boys too!

I received this book through goodreads for the purpose of reviewing it. I found that this was not a book that I would have chosen from the bookstore. Although there were some good points in it, I disagree with the idea that sleeping with someone is ok before marriage. I would never recommend this book to a teenager, nor to any other person, for that matter. I do not agree with many of the authors beliefs about relationships. The best relationships come from honesty, integrity, morality, and a relationship with God.

I accidentally won this on a goodreads giveaway and read it. It contains good advice to young women to help see if their relationships in dating are healthy or not and aiding their growth. Also, a good read for young men in the sense that they can see if their behavior in a relationship is appropriate or not in developing a healthy relationship. Would recommend to anybody in a dating rut, had bad relationships in the past, or is a parent or mentor to young men or women.

This is a good instructional for someone who needs some major relationship help. It helps girls to find who they are in order to find who they need to be paired with. It offers confidence for those who need it, and ways to make a relationship the way they want it to be, and not the way they accept it to be.

[KC · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had to admit, I was tentative at first. A self-help book for young women about relationships? Not really my usual fare. Gradually, I found myself being charmed by the system Jane sets up, a method which shows how to dispose of frogs and keep princes. Kaycee Jane has given confused girls quite a gift.

[Emily Coleman · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this book could be really helpful to confused teens trying to make their way through the jungle of dating.

However, I am married. So... the book held little value for me. But, I will definitely pass it along to a younger, more single friend.

I have to say the book was "OK." Pretty much telling you what you already knew. On the plus side, the book was an easy read, probably targeting the late teens/early college age.

[Peggy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so impressed with this book! I remember thinking that I wish someone had given this to me when I was a girl.
