A Girl's Guide to Chaos di Cynthia Heimel

I love this so much. A bit dated but makes you wonder how dated we'll be in 27 years!

Sex tips for girls di Cynthia Heimel, 1947-2018

Well, after 14 years, moricsala, I'll review it.
I bought it for my wife. I love the title. Under the humour, there are, in fact, some excellent sex tips.
As a man, I would be happy if any woman I shared a bedroom with used this book for instruction. (For the most part: I have not done an exhaustive analysis.)

A Girls Guide to Chaos: And Other Pieces di Cynthia Heimel

Collection of Essays by Cynthia Heimel.
Not as funny as 'Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth I'm kissing you Goodbye", but still great bite-ing and unashamedly feminist wit
