This girl’s guide to absolutely everything
I’d like to think that I’ve seen everything in the self-help vein: the bad, the badder, and the so bad it makes me laugh like a hyena. Then along came Melissa Kirsch’s recent release, The Girl’s Guide to Absolutely Everything (Workman). For once, we have a book title in this genre that does not lie—Kirsch, who worked as a senior producer at Oxygen Media, organizes her real-world, woman-to-woman-without-being-wanky advice into sections like “Health & Body Image,” “Spirituality,” “Home Ec for Modern Times,” and, of course, “Dating, Sex, and Romance.” Common sense is taken to another level, with clever, considered sidebars and boxes deicphering, for example, clothing labels, voicing why it’s OK to pass on sex with your significant other, and explaining the benefits of being humble.
Long story short, I love this damn book—it ranks up there with former LJ editor Tania Barnes’s self-help favorite It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken—and would make a killer stocking stuffer for women of all ages (though it’s geared toward twenty- and thirtysomethings). But don’t just listen to me: LJ’s self-help columnist, Deborah C. Bigelow, raves about it in the forthcoming January 15th, 2007 column and will announce her best of the genre in 2006 shortly.
I agree - this book is fabulous!!!!
