Customer Reviews

It's so helpful...

While the authors say this book is geared toward baby-boomers, as a 31 year old recently single woman, I still found it incredibly helpful. It takes the drama out of break-ups, and is a great reminder that life is about more than one's romantic partner. Very educational and comforting!

Wow! What a great book! I read it in a flash. It flows beautifully and the stories and poems are interesting and helpful. It even had some good suggestions for an old guy like me. I liked the conversational style with just the right amount of humor and kidding back and forth between the two authors. Their unusual writeing style was very effective and added to the enjoyment of the book. After reading the book Joan & Marc seem like my close friends.

Celebrating Single and getting love right

I read the book celebrating single and getting love right in one day. I was rivited to it. The writing style was easy to follow and made it difficult to put down. The writers really came across truthful, and it is apparent that they really researched their topic well. I look forward to reading the next book written by Ms allen, and Dr kusinitz. This is a must have item. It is really helpful for the singles who keep making the same mistakes over and over in relationships, and are not happy with themselves. If you find that life is not going the way you would like for yourself, then Celebrating Single is the answer. I am giving this book as a gift for some of my friends.Oprah needs to add this one to her book list.

Long Overdue

Fianlly there is a realistic book about being single that is worth reading. Marc and Joan share their different voices in concert resulting in a book filled with spirit, knowledge, honesty and humor. It can make a mother proud enough to stop pushing marriage when it isn't in the cards. Highly reccommend.

A godsend to all old maids and knights!

As a 26 year old, unmarried WASP with the perfect older sister who is married to the perfect guy with the perfect new baby, I thought I was flawed. Recently, I picked this book up at my local bookstore, and I could not put it down. It is not a schlocky, cheesy self help book. It is a confidence builder. It is a teaching tool. Best yet, "Celebrating Single" gives you the permission to be happy with being single. Buy this book for yourself and all of your single friends!
