For women who don't like to hear it Marina tells it like it is

I just loved this book and Marina's quirky style of writing. This book is a quick, enjoyable read that won't leave you with that multiple therapy session book feeling. You will laugh your way through it and still learn a lot in the process. Marina shares stories of her real life friends and her real life which gives her advice real meaning. From the first sentence Marina already had my attention and let's just say I read this book in one sitting.

Page after page kept me wondering why some women do these things she shares in her book. I also found myself pointing out some women I know in my life who are guilty of some of these bad behaviors toward men and relationships. When Marina speaks about how some women already have their complete wedding planned out and don't even have a boyfriend, it just cracks me up. At this point in the book I had a memory of when I was a child. Me a little under the age of 10 on the front porch of my cousins home, my cousin telling me "when I get married I am going to have 8 bridesmaids in my wedding and the color of their dresses will be.. yada yada ya." I quickly tuned her out then and throughout my life. That cousin who is a year younger than me, I now married and over 44, has never married. She has been in very bad relationships throughout her life. I have been lucky that I have never been so superficial when it came to men, not to say I have not had my share of jerks, but I am happily married. This book is not about finding a man, it has great advice even for the married woman, advice we can also share with our daughters. Many of us women who are mothers have daughters that may carry these self destructive patterns Marina speaks about. It doesn't matter where they learned it, they need to unlearn it. The truth is the main point of this book is about finding your true self and making her happy, then learning how to love her, before searching for someone else to love.
