Honesty is the best policy, even if it hurts

Sure this book set me into tears quite a few times but that is because I swear it was written about me! Finally someone, a man at that, who totally understands and can explain how women and men feel about sex and relationships. It's brutally honest but you will feel better about yourself and the choices you've made by the end of the book. The "other" book shoots down your self confidence and this one boosts it. A wonderful must read for single girls.

Funny, but has an unclear theme

Kerner's book has a lot going for it - it's funny, it provides a man's point of view, and has some good information about sex and male/female differences. As you read the book, you grow to like Kerner a little. And the professed theme of the book, which advises women to stop settling and to wait for the real thing, is a REALLY important message that more women's books need to focus on.

On the downside, I had a hard time getting clear on what exactly Kerner's point was. He seemed to tell women to not settle, but then talked quite a bit about sex (he's a sex therapist) and provided a chapter written by his wife about meeting him. The book seemed to give you an overview and make you laugh, rather than really dive into the more meaty topic of raising your standards.

Overall, a decent book and worth a read. But not a classic.
