galian84 | 6 altre recensioni | Dec 1, 2023 | This book describes five different types of men; the Scriptwriter, the Man in Charge, the Man Without Faults, the Invisible Man, and the Little Boy who Poses as a Man. Each man is described with and includes stories of couples that have come in for therapy/counseling.
Each category/chapter gives scenarios and what is workable and what are deal breakers/walk away.
The last chapter on healthy men is basic common sense; are his words backed up by action? does he make you feel good or bad? he will like you for who you are, etc., etc.
Basically, women need to know their value and demand more of themselves and from men. Let's bring the bar back up to better standards.… (altro)

VhartPowers | 6 altre recensioni | Dec 27, 2018 | Devyn and Riley are best friends-- they survived four years of college together. Devyn is focused on graduation and the paid internship that awaits her. Riley is headed to grad school, but he had fun in college as well, including a string of non-serious girlfriends. Riley's not exactly known for monogamy. However, before they head their separate ways, Devyn has one request of Riley - she wants him to help her lose her virginity (yes, seriously). She doesn't want to head into the next phase of her life a virgin and she thinks Riley is the perfect person to assist. Riley is thrilled to help, of course, and plans a special evening. But will that special night change everything for Devyn and Riley?
First of all, I don't know why I keep reading these "New Adult" books. This genre apparently exists on stereotypes and tropes and the ending is basically transparent. In my defense, I picked it up after reading two tough books, with a lot of murder and darkness. Sometimes you just need a fluff book to lighten things up.
For instance, sample dialogue: "I may have just jizzed in my pants a little. How can a woman this hot possibly know football? I think I'm in love." We're not even going to talk about all the things wrong with this.
Still, this book was more compelling than some of the recent New Adult books I've read. If you like New Adult, you'll enjoy this book - it's a fast read and somewhat cute. If you're like me and still adjusting to the genre, you'll roll your eyes at a good deal of the plot and dialogue, but potentially still enjoy the quickness and silliness of it all. 2.5 - 3 stars depending where you fall on the spectrum

This book helped to clarify a lot of it. She goes through 5 different types of partners (Invisible Man, Little Boy posing as a man, the Man in Control, the Scriptwriter, and the Man without Fault), and deal-breaker scenarios for each one, along with real-life examples. At the end, she goes over what to do if you're stuck on a "merry-go-round", and most importantly, how to know if you're part of the problem, and how to fix it and work on yourself. Generally, she advocates communication and if nothing changes, then get out.
Overall a good read! I enjoyed it and probably will be going back to it for reference in the future.… (altro)
