A very funny book which, despite being "all over the place" has a lot to say about modern sexual mores, and the relationships - good, bad, and ugly - between men and women.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
While generally a funny book, But Enough About You is all too appropriately titled. Heimel's witty observations on the urban singles scene, fashion, and "fabulous fascists" (people obsessed with what is "fabulous") are enjoyable reading, but the more personal pieces scattered throughout sour the book. The exceedingly intimateand apparently realdetails about the lives of her friends, son, and live-in man (who left her at some point during the writing of the book) become embarrassing. High points are a funny advice column about clothes (from Heimel's Village Voice column) and a clever bit on handling difficult situations: "When in Doubt, Act Like Myrna Loy." Overall, not a necessary purchase. Susan Avallone, "Library Journal"

4.0 out of 5 stars
"but enough about you..." is never enough!,
By A Customer
This review is from: But Enough About You (Paperback)
Out of print,(and seriously impossible to find even in danky lower east side usually dependable second hand book sellers ) this early Heimel work is being held onto with tight fingers by everyone who was smart enough not to loan their copy to any fellow Cynthia fan. I have lost the book forever to what I thought wss a trusted friend, and I can hardly blame her. This book is fresh, at- her -height- single- by- choice-swearing-like-a- scurvied- sailor Heimel. Every page barely contains the color and her voice is vivid, and absolutley tight. Do not look for Heimel the nurturing, matured friend. This is the Heimel who gives leaky advice- and is so much fun. This is where her ficitonal "Problem Lady" column made its' first appearance and even though she is obviously writing both the letters and the advice, you hardly care. The form is her born arena. Sounding british in the way only a Yank can, and a true New Yorker could. This is Cynthia before she even dreamed of moving to that ulitimate traitor territory; L.A. When on tour for her last book ( in the late ninties, where the hell is her new delayed and delayed novel? dont hold your breath girls...) I asked her if "But enough about you..."was up for printing in the forseeable future and she laughed. I wonder if I have a copy, she mused. Maybe one day I'll find it. It is probably in the land of rings I'll never see again and can't quite remember losing, soiled qtips ( where do qtips go?) and all those thank you cards that got 'lost in the mail'.
