Funny and honest. I adore Jennifer Love Hewitt and found this true to her 'voice'.

A breezy, humorous read featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt's trademark personality, makes for a quick, enjoyable little "Girl's Guide To Love" type of book.
funny, thought provoking and a great read. JLH holds nothing back and reminds you that turning 30 and dealing with love although it can hurt should not be scary.
Why exactly did I read this again? J-Love doles out advice on dating with plenty of exclamation points and unfunny jokes in brackets. Her writing style is similar to the one I use when I am writing fake parodied emails to my friends. I totally couldn't put it down though
I really, really, really wanted to like this book. Jennifer Love Hewitt has a distinct voice--and one that's entertaining and enjoyably sassy at that--but the content just made me cringe at times. In an age where sexuality and attraction has expanded beyond heteronormativity and that feminine girls need masculine boys or vice versa (with studies and studies and studies to prove it), I just couldn't get behind the old-fashioned notions and gendered stereotypes. There were times where she got soooo close to saying something super awesome and great, and then she'd drop right back to square one by changing her point just enough to throw her idea out the window.
Side note: I'm not sure who her guest narrator was (or maybe I just didn't pay enough attention) but I really didn't like that chapter at all. It felt like a last-minute personal email that was requested to add to the number of pages.

So, yes, I checked this out from the library after reading a somewhat snarky review. As a "normal" book, it is...quite bad. As the book you and friends take turns reading out loud over bourbon, it is amazing. I can't really evaluate it as a straight-up self-help book, but if you are looking for a very (very!) quick read of something funny, there's nothing better out there.
This is possibly one of the worst books I've ever read! I know, if it was so bad, why did I keep reading? It was like watching a car wreck that you just can't take your eyes off of. I can't help wondering if JLH is playing some really bad trick on everyone or if she really is this superficial and "simple." I don't like to be a snob, but I will never be able to see JLH on tv without cringing. In this book, she not only describes her now infamous "vajazzling" of her "va-jay-jay," but she gives advice on how you should prepick out at least three engagement rings so your future fiance doesn't disappoint you, how you should be careful not to let textin' get in the way of sexin' and more you'll never want to know.
p.s - The artwork is horrible fan art-style drawings! Why?!?
