Review

"Amusing and enlightening. Every woman should read it" * Irish Examiner * "A witty traipse through the modern sex and relationships landscape" * Sydney Morning Herald * "A funny book with many scenarios that sound eerily familiar" * Sun * "Edelstein uses amusing anecdotes and perceptive analysis to spread a little understanding of an age old battle of the sexes that boils down to a predictably familiar war of (the wrong) words." * Daily Record *
