A review by unwisely
Perché non sei (ancora) sposata? by Tracy McMillan
3.0
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.
