Jim Logie,
By Jim Logie (Sparks, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celebrating Single and Getting Love Right: From Stalemate to Soulmate (Capital Cares) (Hardcover)
Wow! What a great book! I read it in a flash. It flows beautifully and the stories and poems are interesting and helpful. It even had some good suggestions for an old guy like me. I liked the conversational style with just the right amount of humor and kidding back and forth between the two authors. Their unusual writeing style was very effective and added to the enjoyment of the book. After reading the book Joan & Marc seem like my close friends.

Long Overdue,
By Dorree (WDC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celebrating Single and Getting Love Right: From Stalemate to Soulmate (Capital Cares) (Hardcover)
Fianlly there is a realistic book about being single that is worth reading. Marc and Joan share their different voices in concert resulting in a book filled with spirit, knowledge, honesty and humor. It can make a mother proud enough to stop pushing marriage when it isn't in the cards. Highly reccommend.

A godsend to all old maids and knights!,

This review is from: Celebrating Single and Getting Love Right: From Stalemate to Soulmate (Capital Cares) (Hardcover)
As a 26 year old, unmarried WASP with the perfect older sister who is married to the perfect guy with the perfect new baby, I thought I was flawed. Recently, I picked this book up at my local bookstore, and I could not put it down. It is not a schlocky, cheesy self help book. It is a confidence builder. It is a teaching tool. Best yet, "Celebrating Single" gives you the permission to be happy with being single. Buy this book for yourself and all of your single friends!
