My Opinion:
Whether you want to further your career, or have a better understanding of your relationship, this book is for you.
I didn't expect to enjoy this book as much as I did, but was pleasantly surprised when I found it useful and informative. I appreciated the authors' style of writing too. The format in which she wrote the book, was if if she was having a face-to-face conversation with you.
I think this was a great book, for the different topics it covers. And I don't necessarily think it's just for women. So go on, get a copy!

From the cover this looks like a chick lit book. I wouldn't have thought that it was a career book. It sounds like a fun take on the topic though.
ReplyDeleteWow. "Don't Waste the Pretty" was totally stolen from He's Just Not That Into You by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.
