 - Lighthearted view of us womenI enjoyed this quick read tremendously. It made me laugh and think. We tend to forget sometimes the wonderful thing us women do and it is nice to reminded. Also, some of the corky things we do to each other and ourselves. Totally worth it. I'm buying another one for a gift! Rating:  - Learn to appreciate yourself through lifeWithout going into too much detail, this book offers an appreciative perspective of life, starting with appreciating yourself. I love her insights into self-esteem and fashion, and especially with dating. It's definitely an inspiring book that I'll keep going back to. Rating:  - I was hoping for more.I wouldn't go so far as to label this a 'guide' to anything. I had seen this in the bookstore and after a quick glance through, thought it looked like something I'd like. On my latest trip to the library, I picked it up, and after reading it, I have to say that it really didn't DO anything different for me. The reading was, -well, good, but I don't feel like I really got much substance from it. It is a light read, more of a short essay style and opinions on different topics that pertain to women. I think it skimmed the surface of most of the topics it covered. Maybe that's all the Ms. Vienne was trying to accomplish, I'm not sure. From the title, and the great cover, I was really hoping for more. Rating: - EnjoyableI found this book to be enjoyable but it did not live up to the expectations that I had. Veronique is not a particularly engaging writer and her style can leave you feeling a bit bored or wondering where she was going with something. The overall concept is good but there are other, better books out there that discuss the same topics. Rating: - Insightful and Uplifting ReadingI love Veronique's comments about "sisterhood." She says this should be more inclusive and should not be some exclusive club. Rather, she celebrates all women and the uniquely wonderful feminine qualities that are theirs. Vive la difference! This is a charming, funny, and encouraging book! page 1 of 2
