This should really be titled "Why You're Not Happy...Yet". As the author herself states, this is a book about much more important stuff than finding someone to mate with; it's about getting down with your one, true self, being of service, and other spiritual fundamentals. So yeah, there's god in them thar pages. If that's a big problem for you right now, this is probably not the book for you. But if you're down with at least the notion that maybe-possibly you aren't in charge of the whole show, and if you're looking for a funny, nurturing, ass-kicking, truth-telling guide to help escort your ass to peace and well-being, this book is an awfully good way in.

I actually was very upset by the title of this book, and read it kind of just looking for a reason to hate it. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it and found nuggets of things I needed to hear in almost every chapter. It is a humorous book and isn't your typical "self-help" book on romance. I am glad that I read it and am thinking about the way I approach men and dating with a different perspective. It is worth a read

OK, I ran out of things to read. I had at some point put it on my to-read list, and it was in at the library, and, so I read it. Yes, I am little defensive.

This book had parts I really liked and parts I thought were completely nuts. But yet it was readable (and thin, so it's not a huge commitment to read). It's basically a series of various things that women do that make (stable, sane) men avoid them. It's not about attracting the guy, it's about identifying what you need to fix in your own life.

Everything she identifies are things women (humans, really) would probably want to change anyway, if not for a relationship's sake for their own. Nothing is really a revelation - a couple of these hit home for me (you can guess which). Being a somewhat self-reflective individual, I was semi-aware of these flaws, and have been working on them, but the rephrasing was a really good nudge for me.

The spiritual stuff at the end of each chapter was kind of a hurdle for me, but I realized many parts of it are really stuff even I try for, just phrased a bit goofily. (She also seems to realize she's being goofy, as she at one points assert that one particular thing isn't just like The Secret. Sure, okay.)

So, not a must read, but could be a nice self-awareness check.

Truth like a best friend would tell, with useful anecdotes and occasional slaps for the unsure, or those in denial. Helpful reminders of how to deal with other humans while improving and maintaining ones sanity and contentment. And yes, the author focuses on the "goal" of marriage as an organizing principle but the main thrust of the book is about the greater joy of inner peace and happiness.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved this book. I am very serious about books I give 5 stars to and this book deserved it. I first heard about Tracy McMillan after my coworker saw her on TV and we then looked up her article for Huff Post (same title of the book) and I immediately despised her. I found the article to be annoying and when I shared it on Twitter and found the men all agreed, I was irate. Still, I figured I should read the book before actually deciding if this woman's womanhood card should be revoked and had big plans to blog about how stupid and ridiculous her book was.

BOY.WAS.I.WRONG. This book was witty, clever, amusing, loving, authentic, and so many other wonderful things. There was no pointing fingers but at the same time no sugarcoating of things. It was simply no nonsense like your sister or bff would tell you. I found it to be an easy read and kept finding quotes and things that I wanted to write down to take with me. I think the article actually did the book a disservice because you can't really see the big picture just off the article.

The book is broken up into 10 chapters or reasons why you aren't married yet, things like "You're a Bitch", "You're Godless, "You're a Liar" etc... and each one has her own life experience, a breakdown of her point of view (i.e. what the harsh chapter name is about), and suggestions on how you can change. I think that part of the reason I loved this book is because I'm in a place in my life where I want to change (thanks to May Cause Miracles) but I feel as though this book could open the eyes of even the harshest critic.

I truly wan't to recommend this book to SO many of my single friends and tell them "READ THIS NOW!!!!!!" but again, this is one of those things you have to be open to. I plan to go back and read through specific chapters I know I had an issue with and I'm actually planning to buy it (I check it out at the library) which shows you how much I enjoyed it. I can't tell y'all enough how great this book was! So if you think you might be open to it, go buy it now!!!

This book was written for me. LOL!

Some good insights.
