This book isn't really for anyone than those already familiar with the show. Even though the back of the book lists this as self-help/relationship (or something along those lines), it really isn't. It should more appropriately be labeled a parody, and it should appear only in the comedy section. Pretending it's a "real" relationship book is just as silly as pretending a zombie invasion survival book is real. The questions answered were obviously selected for the amount of comedy potential, much like a Jay Leno bit. Maybe it's just that the intended audience is much younger than I am--or at least, much, much dumber.
I very much enjoy Keith and Chemda's podcast and find them LOL funny, but their humor doesn't really translate all that well to the written page--for me. I did laugh at several sections, but overall the book is kind of a dud. It's just not the kind of book I enjoy reading, even in short bursts. I should've been able to finish reading this book in a day or two, or even a week. But when I realized my reading stack was getting backed up for weeks because I was avoiding this, I had to admit I probably wouldn't finish the book.
I bought this as a way to "support the show" as they appealed to their audience, but I probably won't buy any more KATG books sight unseen. I understand that many of their listeners find this book hilarious, and I can't say that they're ridiculous for their opinion. Let's just say this book simply isn't for me.

Simply put, I think this is a book you should only read if you're familiar with their show prior. Coming into this, I was expecting a fun but helpful relationship advice book but was met with a lot of useless information (that would probably be more enjoyable in their podcast). Like others, I did not think their sense of humor translated well to the pages, and while some made me smile, others made me uncomfortable (but I guess all comedy has the chance of doing one or the other).
Some of their chapters are very honest and actually helpful, such as that about sex and money, and others (advice) could potentially be harmful in another's relationship. There seems to be a huge theme of "do unto others as they unto you" and that's not quite my preferred way to handle issues in a relationship. The two things I did like the most about this, however, was their frankness and the fact that you could hear from both a male and female perspective on the same issues. Regardless, this book was still not my cup of tea (although it had the potential to be), but I'm sure for others who are looking for a comedic and fun take on relationship advice, maybe you could give it a try!

Outdated
My fault for not looking when this book was published, but I believe that most of the submitted questions and answers were just common sense and a book did not need to be written

Hilarious. A must read whether it's for the comedy or the actual advice from Keith and Chemda.
The topics are current (not that I've read any other relationship books) and the questions aren't just some fabrication from the authors, but from actual people. Some of the things people ask about make me wonder about the human population, but Keith and Chemda set them straight.
Their answers are quite honest and at many times, surprising and can tear a laugh right out of you. They also have a back and forth banter like format so both Keith and Chemda can voice their answers, giving the reader two sides (or one depending if they are in complete agreement or not) on how to deal with our "stupid relationship questions."
Buy it, read it, laugh at the insanity of it all. Plus, if it helps your relationships, which it probably will, then all the better.

This is a very different type of advice book. There is no sugarcoating around the issues and is a very honest and many times great advice book. What is even more interesting is that the authors were in a five year relationship and due to a contract they signed when they got this book deal, they were unable to tell anyone that they had broken up for a year and a half. Even more interesting, they still are the hosts of a very popular comedy podcast, despite the fact that they had to live together for 2 years after they broke up, they are still able to work together, due to the fact that they took their own advice.
I recommend reading this book even if you don't need any relationship advice as Keith Malley's responses to some of the questions are sometimes ridiculous, but always funny.

I’m not gonna lie. If you are easily offended or the slightest bit prudish, don’t read this book. But if you can look at life with a sense of humor and aren’t afraid of some cuss words and frank talk about sex and relationships, then you should pick up this book. I’ve been listening to Keith and the Girl’s podcasts for almost a year and the chemistry that makes them so good in audio and on-screen makes them just as good on paper. They tackle topics that range from handling money and household issues to inner and outer beauty to sex and kink to marriage, in-laws, and kids. There’s no conventional wisdom here, just straight talk, simple answers, and plenty of laughs.

I'm a faithful listener of the Keith and the Girl podcast, so it's only natural that I would pick this book up.
Fans of the show can jump right in and enjoy the references and laughs. You will hear Keith and Chemda's voices in your heads, reading the words aloud.
Those new to the community or picking this up from a recommendation may be startled to find that this book is only half serious. Lots of snarky comments and quips fill the pages.
The humor can be harsh. It's funny, blunt and to the point.

This book is one of those just for fun i want the straight up truth advice kind of books. Filled with lots of funny humorous responses to todays most common questions about sex, relationships, and dating. Even though some answers i wouldn't completely agree on, most were honest and truthful and funny too. It's a quick fun read and just might answer a question that you don't know how to go about handling.

I love KaTG I just can't give the book 5 stars because of my severe dislike of the R word and my extreme wish that the world would stop rewarding or excusing its use.
The book is damn funny, otherwise.

Super awesome and informative book. It is helpful at whatever stage of a relationship you are at. And if you don't care about relationship advice it has tons of great humor also. It is a great book on two levels. One book, two levels, one cheap price. Can't be beat.

As much a comedy book as a relationship book. Lots of questions from different categories answered with a somewhat comedic tone, from both a male and female perspective. All the comedy aside though, I think it contains some very valid advice!

I guess this is supposed to be funny, but more than anything, I was offended. And it takes quite a bit to disgust me. I barely made it into the first chapter before I decided to return this to my digital library.

Yay! I love, love, love it. Keith and Chemda answer relationship questions in an honest and hilarious way. The book made me laugh and gave me sound advice as well!

Humorous, engaging, conversational look at 21st century relationships. Warning: Language is occasionally what some would class as vulgar.
