" I am not sure why this book received the hype it did. Does Melissa just have fabulous publishing connections? The book teaches you nothing except that love is sometimes difficult (no brainstorm there). Jane doesn't experience most of the love traumas most women do. None of the men up and leave her. None really cheat on her (there's one maybe brief moment of infidelity) or abuse her. They all seem to adore her, perhaps in their limited way, but adore her nonetheless. And she always leaves them. Why then does she need to buy and follow Meeting and Marrying Mr. Right? Her problem isn't that she can't keep a man. Her problem is that she's not choosing her men wisely. Actually, her men reflect her own ambivilance about her life goals. The solution doesn't lie in better relationship games but in figuring out what she really wants in life. I will give her credit for writing a very quick read but an only mildly entertaining read. The writing style is light with some snappy one-liners. The one highlight in the book is her relationship with her father. But it's definately not a realistic look at relationships in the 90s -- unless you're dating men who take you on great trips to St. Croix and men older than your father. If you must read it, wait until the paperback. "
