Loved It!

This was absolutely a very cute book! Also, a must-read for any woman who has been in a relationship (even if they are currently in one). Jennifer Love Hewitt uses her personal experiences from her MANY publicized relationships with men to shed a little light on all the intricacies of dating, all the good stuff and bad stuff, and even the 'Why didn't I think of that?' stuff in relationships. This does not mean that JLH is telling you "HOW IT IS" and that there is no other way, she is just giving her own little perspective. In the end this book is meant to make you feel better about your past relationships, even if they went horribly wrong, because everyone goes through them. There is even a part where she lets a man speak for himself (Jammie Kennedy - even though they were no longer together when this book came out). One of the important things to take from this book is that everyone is different, including men. Also, we are not alone. Plain and simple. Throughout her advice and perspective, JLH also provides little tips that she found successful, while stating that these might not work for everyone. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, quick, heartfelt read with no lies written in the pages.

Better than what I expected

This was quite surprising with a lot of one liner'd advice. It was written very well and I laughed out loud almost every other chapter. She didn't get too personal and start trash talking like other celebs do. A definate reread.

Honest, Fun and Surprisingly Deep

Many times we look at celebrities as having it all. Jennifer's book shows that no matter how pretty or famous you are, there are still insecurities to deal with and romantic heartache. What's missing in most dating how-to books is the brutal honesty of the author and Jennifer reveals so much about herself that makes you just want to give her a huge hug. The book will speak to more of a younger audience but I still liked it. A light, easy read for the beach this summer. As a fellow dating expert/author, I read other dating books for market research (I met my true love four years ago). I just had to support Jennifer for her bravery in putting this out there. I know how scary it can be to let people inside your private world but that allows us see that we all deal with same issues. Hopefully women will stop competing with each other for men and tearing each other down and come together to lift us all up. Jennifer, your true love is coming and he will be SO into you.

Love JLW!

I am a big fan of Jennifer Love, ever since I was watching her as a pre-teen, and now as an adult with Ghost Whisperer. As soon as I found out she was coming out with a book, I pre-ordered it. It could have been about her sleeping patterns and I would still have eaten it all up! This book was so cute, I read it in 2 days. It gave me a good insight on what she went through after her break up with her fiancee. I def. know what its like after a big break up like that, and it helped me get closer to her. Love it and HER!

Stupid cupid.

Jennifer Love Hewitt knows a thing or two about love and relationships and she's not afraid to share it. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and thought her tips--espcially on waiting on him to call--were right on. I guess the whole idea is to get over the idea of cupid--waiting for him to shoot you with his arrow. But, as well, it's about becoming more empowered in your thinking and in the way you act. Overall, this is a good read for all women. I am so glad I read it!!! Also liked: Man Magnet: How to Be the Best Woman You Can Be in Order to Get the Best Man-A Guide To Dating (Revised Edition).
