Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Not for the faint of heart, Cherry Bomb is an A-to-Z reference for everything awesome a girl needs to know, including the obvious (style, beauty, dating, and sex tips) and the not-so-obvious (instructions for preparing absinthe, how to hit on a celebrity). It's a girl's guide with a difference: one that shows readers how to identify, go after, and get whatever they want in life -- be it a hot guy, a great job, a mind-blowing orgasm, or a sexy new look -- all while marching to her own (rock) beat.

Bona fide rock chick Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna's tips are smart, funny, edgy, and will empower women to veer away from the pack, work every situation to their advantage, and look cool while doing it. She's also recruited a rocking list of contributors who offer advice on all things cool, including:
  • Betsey Johnson on personal style
  • A step-by-step guide to performing a striptease by Dita Von Teese
  • Tips on getting inked by Kat Von D.
  • Fashion inspiration from Anna Sui
  • Lisa Loeb on how to be the perfect hostess
  • Life lessons from Tori Amos
  • A drum lesson from Samantha Maloney of Peaches
  • Dating advice from Terri Nunn of Berlin


The perfect guide for the female who prefers black nail polish to French manicures, who would only be caught in pearls if they were paired with a cool black tank top, and who prefers Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier to any Klein (Calvin or Anne), Coach, or Kate Spade, Cherry Bomb will have readers taking chances and daring to be different.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's the Bomb!
This book is fun, insightful and full of great tips on how to be that total cherry bomb!



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappoints
I was very disappointed with this book. The "chapters" are mostly 1 or 2 short pages, and the writing is Seventeen Magazine reading level. The advice would be useful if you are a late-teen/early-twenties in America's heartland, or maybe grew up in a convent. But if you're in one of those groups, you won't have the money to buy the trendy designers mentioned, and you won't be in L.A. to use the advice on how to hang in the hottest clubs and bars like you're on Entourage. The book's only high point ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Seems to work
I really bought this for my wife thinking that if she didn't find some pointers or useful information she would be entertained. It took a bit longer for her to read than I thought it would. So, it is not one of those books you just can't put down. She does seem to have enjoyed it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome
I ordered this book after hearing bout it in a magazine, I'm so glad I took a chance and bought it's a fun book to read and I would recommend it to any women that is willing to try something new.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Cherry Bomb
I guess the book was all it was meant to be. It related stories from different rock stars, their girlfriends and groupies. Not much substance but some parts were interesting.
