 A wonderful read. Nov 17, 2009
I loved this book. Very well written with organized thoughts flowing easily made it a quick read. Quite astute observations with researched answers. Humor was helpful, to make this a light but informative read.
Works for me. Nov 16, 2009
This book definitely worked for me. I didn't realize that I was actually overcompensating for men in my love life. No wonder I didn't get what I wanted. I remember when I was afraid to voice my opinion for fear of being seen as a bitch. Now, no more. This book gave a wake-up slap in the face and I became true to myself...the confident, strong, sexy woman I am.
Required reading for all Oct 23, 2009
I wish I had had this book before I embarked upon the world of relationships. It is so practical and dignified and sensible. It applies to every relationship and I have shared it with friends and family as it is that important. We have the power to be treated in loving and respectful ways and can love others better when we love ourselves first. It is not at all about being a bitch but about loving ourselves, being composed, respectful and in control of our emotions and words in our dealings with others. It is entertaining to read and all the feedback I've received on it is positive and of gratitude.

One of few books that will give you solid and specific advice Oct 10, 2009
My friend gave me a stack of these books after she got married. Book reviewer that I am, I couldn't just "not" read them. Many books on this topic are a bit lame. They are either for women who are truly clueless, or they are really focused on one area of self-development, i.e. confidence.
This is a great book if you are already plenty confident, have gotten to a great place in your life for understanding who you are and then already know well the type of man who is right for you (the last part being the absolute hardest).
This book, then steps in with seemingly general wisdom on making sure you understand all the nuances of being treated right. It answers the problems of "ok, so I'm being nice" what is "too nice" and how will I know when what I'm doing is setting myself up for a dangerous precedent. This book is perfect. It goes through the entire scenario to explain to you why you might want to think twice about being "available". Why it will end up in that dangerous spiral of hurt feelings and nagging. For many women, this is the advice they need, i.e. how to train and set behaviors correctly at the outset so that you never have certain types of problems.
I couldn't give it full stars because there are a couple areas that are not addressed. First, this book, as I mentioned, is really only right if you are already confident and really understand what type of man you should be dating. I know tons of girls that go out with guys who like to treat women like a doormat. No amount of the rules in this book is really going to stop you from being treated poorly by such a guy. Hence, if you read this book and then go out with a guy like that, you'll come away feeling that you have failed. This book should probably address that issue a bit.
Second, I do actually think adding a chapter on building confidence is important. As I think of my girlfriends who "should be confident", in this area they really aren't. That said, many of the actions in this book could only be carried out by a woman who is confident; so perhaps in going through the paces a woman can become her actions?
Don't Let the Title Deter you... Great book and author:) Sep 24, 2009
This is a very well written book with great and very timely advice. The author defines 'Bitches'. Her definiton is not derogatory, but refelcts an independent thinker and woman of certitude. I recommend it for women of all ages.
