Perché non sei (ancora) sposata? by Tracy McMillan
3.0
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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!!!
